Excellence in literacy and numeracy is at the forefront of teaching and learning at Edenbrook Secondary College to develop students into lifelong participants in education, employment and the community.
Our vision for literacy and numeracy at Edenbrook is to improve outcomes for every student, in every classroom, regardless of their starting point. This is achieved through integrated literacy and numeracy development in each subject, a dedicated literacy Learning Specialist, and targeted support and intervention programs.
