About this school, from public sources
Based on the school's website and public directory listings, St Arnaud Secondary College is a small government secondary school serving years 7-12 for the St Arnaud district and surrounding rural area. It runs a one-to-one laptop program (families co-purchase devices), offers French as a language elective plus weekly practical music tuition, and emphasises student voice, with students helping run weekly assemblies and taking part in leadership programs. The college promotes core values of respect, responsibility and resilience, and low enrolment numbers allow for a low student-to-teacher ratio.
