GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
Our established school community will already be aware of the following information, however, what follows may be useful for families considering enrolling their student. Shepparton ACE Secondary College started life 18 years ago as a senior secondary school and transitioned to Year 7 -12 in 2019. During that time we chose to remain a small school to enable us to have small classes and get to know all the students in the school. We teach the Australian Curriculum from Year 7 to 10, as do many Independent Schools, and offer VCE, VCE VM and VET at Years 11 and 12. We have a strong careers department with opportunities for School Based Apprenticeships, work experience and a pathway to university. In 2023, the graduating students found employment or enrolled in tertiary studies. We have strong anti-bullying policies and all our staff work hard on student engagement. We also have an individual tutoring program and offer rich extra-curricular experiences through incursions and a camping program that are cost free to parents.
AI (Artificial Intelligence)
A reminder to parents and students that the school and its staff take learning and academic effort very seriously and as a result the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to write essays or for any other school work is banned.
If a student is found to have used AI to write or complete work, the work will need to be resubmitted in order to be able to pass.

Information regarding our anti-bullying policies
As most parents and carers know we have in place a number of policies that assist us in dealing with bullying behaviour. Our Student Code of Conduct states that student enrolments can be terminated if bullying does not cease. We know that young people cannot learn if they are feeling unsafe and we respond to reports of bullying on the same day if at all possible. Unfortunately, we have also needed to ask a number of students who chose to continue with bullying behaviour to leave the school during the year. Despite all this, some bullying behaviour is at times not reported. Students can report bullying to their classroom teacher, the Year Level Coordinator, the Social Worker, Assistant Principal or Principal at any time. We are focussed on developing a safe, friendly, supportive leaning environment for all.
Circus Skills Workshops
From juggling to balancing, our Year 7 students are picking up a diverse range of skills thanks to the circus skills workshops facilitated by the Circus Nexus team.

Shepparton ACE Secondary College is on the grounds of the Yorta Yorta and Bangerang peoples.
We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of these lands and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and continuing connection with this land. We recognise the responsibility we have in caring for this country, which has deep spiritual significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose cultures are amongst the oldest living cultures in human history. We recognise the importance of educating our students in the strong foundations of culture and identity. We acknowledge that better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation of Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation.
