Location Profile John Fawkner College takes pride in uniting learners from a diverse community within a respectful and adaptive environment that fosters enjoyment in learning and the motivation to achieve excellence. John Fawkner Secondary College is a growing co-educational secondary college, which operates within a distinct geographical area with a diverse cultural mix.
In 2025, JFC will open the new STEM/Science building, including a new Art centre, staff rooms, and media centre. The second building to open is the hospitality grade Food Tech centre and school cafeteria.
Melbourne Victory Football will run the inaugural year of the program, having piloted a team in 2024. The program includes an all-girl soccer team, the first of its kind for the club in schools, and junior and senior teams for boys. The success of this program in 2024 has attracted students from a range of areas and backgrounds and complements our diverse community.
The school is in a transformative stage and is currently experiencing significant change and improvement, across curriculum, learning, and wellbeing. The School Strategic Plan has a strong focus on improving learning through the use of our well-documented and viable curriculum and the revised and improved JFC Instructional Model.
Strong leadership is a crucial factor in the transformation of the college and over the past year, we have consolidated a robust, stable leadership team, with an exciting vision for the next generation of young people. Staff are encouraged to take positions of responsibility such as year level coordinators, which develop their leadership and teamwork skills and open doors to future leadership possibilities. Our staff is stable and collegiate, fostering a learning environment of collaboration and professionalism.
Student wellbeing and engagement is supported by the SWPBS framework, and this is reflected in the school values. The college boasts a strong wellbeing team, consisting of a full-time wellbeing leader, a school nurse, art therapist, and mental health practitioner. The college has a strong focus on improving Literacy and Numeracy, and students are identified for support through the Quicksmart program, MYLNS, and the tutor learning initiative. Students are identified for support through the work of a Behaviour Analyst and Leading Teacher for Inclusion, in collaboration with all staff and the wellbeing team.
Each year from 7-10 has a coordinator, supported by a Sub School Leader. VCE and VM students are supported by a Year 11 and Year 12 coordinator and a Senior School Leader. Our VM program is into the fourth year and is characterised by a small and dedicated teaching team and a vast network of connections in the community. Many students take a VET subject from year 10 onwards. The VCE starts at year 10 for those students who want to accelerate their progress through the senior school and offers a broad range of subjects. The students from years 7-10 study the Victorian Curriculum and electives. At year 10, students are counselled to appropriate pathways and select from VCE/VM to continue their final years of schooling. All VM students do a Vet subject one day a week, and there is the potential to study a SBAT whilst at school.
Our growing areas currently are in Science and STEM and our partnership with the Science Centre of Excellence at Melbourne University guarantees all students the opportunity to explore their interests in this area. A leading teacher for student agency and leadership guides students into roles of leading and mentoring and works with a vibrant student group who liaise with staff and students on curriculum and wellbeing issues and social events and special days. Our daily practice is informed by the Human Rights for all students at JFC.
The staff at JFC is collegiate, dynamic and collaborative, led by an executive principal and two assistant principals. The focus is on the future for the students in this area and we seek vibrant, innovative, committed teachers and leaders to join us in our journey of improvement and success. Tours are welcome from prospective employees.
