The SFOE for the College is 0.58, indicating a significant level of social disadvantage.
The College is culturally diverse, reflecting our community, with approximately 60% of our students coming from a Language Background other than English. Copperfield performs to expectations and better on many measures in comparison with `like¿ schools; in particular, our VCE outcomes.
The college¿s mission is `to empower every student to aspire and achieve¿ which is a clear focus in our new College Strategic Plan which can be found along with the 2024 AIP and the 2023 Annual Report, on our website www.copperfieldcollege.vic.edu.au. Our current plans aim at delivering high quality educational outcomes with low in-school variation in everything we do through a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum. Our Strategic Plan has a major focus on building the capacity of every teacher to work collaboratively in Professional Learning Teams to provide differentiated learning challenges to every student. Improving numeracy, literacy and wellbeing are also key foci for all teachers.
Copperfield is a large provider of VET in Schools and a key member of the Brimbank VET Cluster. We are the lead school in a Technical Trade Centre, hosting VET Automotive, VET Electrotechnology and a range of other VET subjects. The College also emphasises the importance of a robust co-curricular and student leadership program. Copperfield has managed to sustain a stable International Student Program and there are currently 36 international students across the College. English as an Addition Language (EAL) is taught at all campuses as are two LOTEs, one of which is supported by a 20+ year old sister school relationship with Fuji Junior High School in Japan.
