Sub-Schools

Sub-Schools

Alkira Secondary College is a place of outstanding learning and professional practice. Continually adapting to meet the needs of our learning community. Across all year levels, the focus is on developing and facilitating a child-centred curriculum, personalising the learning environment whilst encapsulating the alignment of space, pedagogy, beliefs and values.

At Alkira, every student is supported through our Team Around the Learner approach. This collaborative model ensures that each student is known, supported, and guided throughout their learning journey. Each student has a dedicated Learning Mentor who is the first point of contact for families and students. In addition to this, each student is supported by their year level sub-schools.

Each sub-school includes:

• Year Level Coordinator
• Sub-School Leader – Leading teacher
• Assistant Principal
• Multicultural Education Aide
• Student Support Administration

Working in partnership with families, this team provides coordinated academic, well-being, and engagement support to ensure every student can thrive.

Houses

In addition, Alkira Secondary College fosters a strong House culture, with every student belonging to one of four Houses. Each House represents an ancient element. Earth, Air, Water, or Fire. Named using the Indigenous language of the Kurnai people, whose Country extends across much of present-day Gippsland and southern Victoria.

Each House banner also features the corresponding Mandarin character for its element. In collaboration with students, previous House Leaders have developed a unique mascot for each House, symbolising qualities we actively encourage in all Alkira students.
