Role

Alkira is a Wurundjeri word meaning Big Sky. It was chosen to highlight the place of our learning high on a hill and also the wide and endless opportunities that we make available to our school community.

The school continues to be a school of choice in the local area forcing us to manage extreme enrolment growth and transition of students across all year levels reflecting a shift in demographics and diversity of our surrounding community. This year the school enrolments have peaked at 1935 FTE enrolments, not including a number of International students and part time students enrolled in online or offsite programs. Our SFOE index is Medium at 0.4337. Our school is highly multicultural with 30 % of students being born overseas. Enrolments also include Aboriginal students, EAL students and NCCD students.

The School vision and statement of purpose and core values from day one recognised our responsibility to provide a personalised education for every child in our emerging community.

To ensure we maintain our sense of community and strong relationships, our school is broken up into sub schools and is also emerging into a senior, middle and junior school. This schools within school SWIS model helps to ensure every student is known and their personal, educational, and social needs are monitored, managed and supported by a staff of over 200. Pastoral Care is a significant aspect of the SWIS model and further supports the notion of securing the entitlements of all students. Pastoral Care has a focus on developing student learning experiences with the notion that the PC teacher and sub school support team continues to plan for student improvement.
