At Wangaratta High School we strive for continuous improvement in everything that we do
Sessions and Timetable
At Wangaratta High School, we have 5 sessions a day, with an earlier lunch and afternoon recess We believe that the earlier lunch will serve all students better, especially our students that travel from out of town
Below is an example of a student's timetable:
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program
A renewed and re-invigorated focus on Ready to Learn and Bring Your Own Device
The School's Bring Your Own Device Program (BYOD) enhances teaching and learning within the classroom Our rationale is to ensure all students have the skills to access opportunities to learn anytime, anywhere, while at the same time understanding how to manage technology to improve their learning
To do this, students from Year 7 to Year 12 are required to bring a suitable, charged device to school each day to support their learning, with teachers increasing the use of in-class technology-based activities to enhance pedagogy Wangaratta High School has partnered with 'Learning With Technology’ (LWT), who have put together a portal allowing parents to purchase discounted devices that meet all our minimum requirements. Parents can access further information and purchase devices by visiting the following link https://wangarattahs orderportal com au/ Please note however, that you may purchase a device from any store of your choice
For more detailed information on the School’s BYOD policy please visit the Wangaratta High School website
Student Diary
To complement our Homeroom system and support student Readiness to Learn we issue all students with a Wangaratta High School Diary This will occur on the first day of school The Diary is to be bought to each class and signed weekly by the parent/carer and Homeroom teacher. It is primarily designed to facilitate personal and learning organisation.
