Woodcroft College (Morphett Vale, South Australia)
Woodcroft College is an independent, Anglican, co-educational, day school for students from Reception to Year 12. Despite being named for the southern Adelaide suburb of Woodcroft, the school is situated in the suburb of Morphett Vale. Founded in 1989, the college is currently celebrating 24 years of operation. Woodcroft College is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and consequently, the Junior School runs on the IB Primary Years Programme whilst the Middle School follows the IB Middle Years Programme Year 11 and 12 students are offered three curriculum pathways; the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), Vocational Education and Training (VET) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP).
Woodcroft College aims to prepare students for future study and equip them with the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need to gain worthwhile employment, be responsible citizens in a global society, and lead their lives according to Christian beliefs and values. Woodcroft College offers a variety of facilities, all set in spacious, landscaped grounds with modern buildings and extensive playing fields. Specialist teaching areas are well-equipped with up-to-date resources and information and communications technology.
Across the year levels the curriculum is broad and diverse. It encourages the pursuit of academic excellence, yet caters for individual differences in learning styles and abilities. It meets the students’ intellectual needs, yet satisfies their physical and emotional needs, and encourages them to achieve their potential in all areas of human endeavour – from the performing arts through to the creative arts, outdoor education, sports and leisure-time activities. It encourages students to become confident, active, resilient, self-reliant and successful life-long learners. And it allows them to grow in faith through Religious and Values Education, corporate worship, and service to others in school, local community and international projects.
