Yea High School
Location
Yea High School is a co-educational secondary college with an enrolment of 320 students situated 100 kilometres from Melbourne. The school runs an outreach program for students who were previously not connected with education – the Access Yea Community Education (AYCE) Program. The school is a vibrant learning institution with a progressive attitude to curriculum programs and education provision.
Yea High School is a Big Picture Inspired school which currently runs a Big Picture academy in Year 9 for two classes of students. Students apply to join these classes and the teacher student ratio in advisory classes is 1:12. Students spend 10 periods a week in advisory groups and come together as one class for 5 periods of English and 5 periods of mathematics. In addition all students undertake a community connections project for 6 periods and sport for 4 periods.
The school has been working on developing these concepts within the Year 7 and 8 programs – the development of advisory, student learning plans, passion projects and exhibitions. The Year 9 Big Picture Academy extends this work and goes deeper into areas which are relevant to older students.
