About Yule Brook College
Yule Brook College is a middle school situated in Maddington. The College caters for the needs of students from year 8 -10. Students in years 11 & 12 attend Sevenoaks Senior College.

Yule Brook College was founded in 2000 specifically to develop more effective ways of assisting the teaching and learning of young adolescents. We have developed an environment in which we foster relationships and pastoral care, and in which students learn in a collaborative environment.

This is reinforced by grouping students in Year teams - one in Year 8, 9 & 10. Each team is supported by a Learning Team of teachers whose role is to focus as much as is practicable on a single group of students.

To support this, the College has well-developed Information and Communication Technology. All students have access to email and the internet to support their classroom learning.

Voc Ed

Vocational Education & TrainingImplementation of VET is in accordance with the nationally agreed principles from Principles and Guidelines for Improving Outcomes for Vocational and Technical Education and Training in Schools (2005 - 2008).

Literacy & Numeracy

Through the Commonwealth Literacy and Numeracy Program (CLNP), the Department directs supplementary literacy and numeracy funding to schools with a high proportion of educationally disadvantaged students. The aim of this program is to measurably improve literacy and numeracy among disadvantaged students and to support the National Literacy and Numeracy Plan.
 

A new design for schooling

A small, caring and supportive learning community encourages students and staff to achieve their potential and become responsible and contributing community members through a focus on principles:
  • Small by design and the power of one on one in Advisory groups
  • Personalised learning that pursues passions
  • Families and community – grow a culture
  • Learning through internships and authentic assessment – make it real
  • providing specialised one-on-one support and alternative settings for ‘at risk’ students.
