School Structure

The House Model at Vermont Secondary College provides a framework for the provision of student learning, support and intervention services as well as student leadership and to promote a sense of community. The structure consists of three Houses: Hotham, Macedon and Stirling.

Within each House there is a House Management Team:

• An Assistant Principal
• A Head of House
• A Student Manager at each of Years 7, 8, 9 & 10
• Two Student Managers at Years 11-12

These teams are supported as required by the Student Wellbeing and Pathways & Transitions teams.
The role of the House Management team and in particular the Student Manager is to provide the smooth daily operation of each year level House group and to create a cohesive, harmonious, productive and orderly House and college climate. Student Managers look after the general well-being of House students at the year level, have a highly visible presence, implementing the standards and procedures within the college, and are the first port-of-call in communicating with student families. This model of Student Management ensures consistency with students and families as they move through the College.
