Welcome to Baden Powell College! At the heart of our mission is a profound commitment to fostering academic excellence while nurturing the social-emotional growth of every student. We believe that each child is unique, and our goal is to unlock their individual potential through a supportive and enriching educational experience.
Across both our campuses, our approach to education remains unified and consistent. Our dedicated staff collaborates closely, bringing together a wealth of expertise and diverse perspectives. This collaborative spirit ensures that your child benefits from a rich tapestry of knowledge and experience, creating an environment where learning thrives.
We understand that a comprehensive educational program is essential for helping students discover their passions and talents. Our curriculum is designed not just to impart knowledge, but to inspire curiosity and foster critical thinking. We are committed to enhancing our facilities, recognising that the physical environment plays a crucial role in fostering students’ sense of belonging and aspirations for the future.
I firmly believe that the most significant impact on your child's educational journey comes from the quality and capabilities of their teachers. At Baden Powell College, we invest heavily in professional development, nurturing a culture of lifelong learning among our staff. By engaging with experts and staying current with the latest educational research, we ensure that our teaching practices are effective and relevant, equipping our students with the skills they need to succeed.
As the Principal of Baden Powell College, I bring 25 years of experience in Victorian schools, with a deep passion for educational leadership. Having served as Principal for a decade, my journey has included roles as a Numeracy Coach and educational leader across several schools in Wyndham and the Western Suburbs. I have also been involved in driving school improvement initiatives at the Regional office, working collaboratively to enhance educational outcomes across South West Victoria.
I am dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels valued and inspired to learn. I invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can create a vibrant and supportive community that empowers your child to flourish and achieve their dreams.
I look forward to partnering with you in your child's education and seeing them thrive at Baden Powell College.
Warm regards,
Vicki Minton
College Principal
