We acknowledge the Bpangerang People, the traditional custodians of this land, and we pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
The name of our school Wangaratta is the Bpangerang word for the long neck of the cormorant.
Junior Years
At Wangaratta High School our Junior Years includes all students and programs from Years 7 to 8. Students in our Middle Years are provided with a broad range of challenging programs reflective of the diversity of our broader community and are fortunate to be involved in quality, personalised, learning programs and co-curricular opportunities.
The Junior Years are led by a team that includes a Leading Teacher and Year Level Leaders.
Some of these include: an extensive music program, World Challenge, Duke of Edinburgh Award, International Exchange Programs and a variety of sporting and extension activities.Students are able to select from a broad range of courses so as to provide alternative pathways beyond secondary school.
Junior Years
Course Structure
Year 7
In Year 7, students study a common core curriculum of English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Health and Physical Education (HAPE). Students undertake the majority of their classes in mentor groups and all students study Italian.
Art and Technology subjects are rotated across Years 7 and 8. This ensures that all students are able to try a range of Art and Technology subjects to support future elective choice and to gain an understanding of pathway options.
