The highest ATAR score achieved was 98.6 and individual study scores of 40+ were achieved by individual students in English, Literature and English Language, Mathematics; Sciences – Chemistry, Biology, Psychology; Media, Geography and Accounting. The College’s acceleration program in English and Mathematics and in other learning areas, through the vertically structured curriculum where students study at their ability level rather than their chronological age, has resulted in prestigious awards being awarded to students. At Highvale students are provided with excellent educational opportunities through the high quality teaching programs and a strong commitment from our staff to professional development. This allows the students to achieve excellent learning outcomes. The college has a strong partnership with the major universities with our students being awarded opportunities to study in the Monash Scholars Program from Monash University and the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars program for The University of Melbourne. Highvale Secondary College is a school with high retention, consistently excellent student attendance rates and an outstanding record of students continuing their studies in tertiary university courses. The Instrumental Music Program offers tuition in brass, woodwind, percussion, voice, strings, keyboard and guitar. Over 200 students participate in ensembles concert and performance bands and orchestras. One of the school’s violinist won an scholarship with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra which enables them to practise and perform with the MSO in 2016. The Robotics, Media and Studio Arts programs give students the opportunity to pursue their problem solving and creative interests whilst science students can study in their chosen field and participate in Science Talent Quest. In 2016, a $5 million building program will commence with new buildings and refurbishment by 2017.
