Ballarat Clarendon College - different by design

Ballarat Clarendon College is different by design. Clarendons knowledge-rich and sequenced curriculum its commitment to explicit teaching approach to the structure of lessons classroom management and data analysis makes it different from other schools - deliberately so.

At Clarendon we believe that learning should not be a lottery. Students should never feel lucky to have one teacher but unlucky to be taught by another. If a teacher is supporting and progressing their students through a nuanced approach to a topic a particular sequence of tasks a more effective explanation or a striking analogy that illuminates a complex concept then all teachers should know about and use those same methods. Everyone wants to get better.

We believe that all students deserve the best curriculum we can offer - one that draws from the research evidence that points to the effectiveness of a knowledge-rich curriculum explicitly taught.

And this is what drives Clarendons approach to common planning to developing a high-quality curriculum that contributes to better learning opportunities for students and for staff.

The approach that we take is not that same as other schools that pursue different pathways towards excellence but it is what we do.

Clarendons commitment to professional learning - using research-based best practice to get better - ensures that our teachers working closely with and learning from their colleagues strive thrive and achieve.

We are about learning. That might sound obvious for a school. Yet to us everything is an opportunity for learning - every interaction every game every performance every calculation or paragraph. We are as much about teacher learning as we are about student learning.

And who would not be up for that Who would not want to get better all the time

Clarendon is not like other schools. Deliberately so. We are daring and we are intentionally and purposefully different.

If Clarendon sounds like the type of school that youd like to be a part of were keen to meet with you.
