At Foxwell State Secondary College, we believe that every one of our Foxwell learners carries the ability to achieve and become anything they aspire to be.
We are a modern, future-focused college that proudly places students at the heart of everything we do. Our belief in the potential of every learner drives a culture of high expectations, deep engagement, and meaningful relationships. We are united by the shared understanding that we are all Foxwell learners. Our Pursuit of Success for Foxwell Learners is The Foxwell Way.
Our Pursuit of Success
Our Pursuit of Success for Foxwell Learners is The Foxwell Way. Success at Foxwell is not one-size-fits-all. Whether in academic achievement, creative expression, sporting endeavours, leadership, or community contribution, we empower students to define and pursue their own version of success. Every learning experience is designed to prepare our students to thrive in an ever-changing world - with confidence, curiosity, and resilience.
Our Strategic Pillars
At Foxwell, our work is guided by four strategic pillars that shape how we lead, teach, and learn every day:
- Culture
We set high expectations and create a strong sense of belonging. Positive learning behaviours and a focus on student and staff wellbeing are at the heart of our thriving College community.
- Leading
We are committed to growth, innovation, and continuous improvement. Through collaborative teams and purposeful partnerships, we deliver high-quality service and drive positive change.
- Engaging
We know our learners. By nurturing character, celebrating effort and achievement, and ensuring inclusive practices, we create meaningful connections that support success for every student.
- Learning
Our teaching is grounded in an innovative curriculum, responsive assessment, and future-focused skills. Through our Excellence Academies and a strong pedagogical approach, we prepare students to lead and succeed in the 21st century.
The 6 C's – Our Foundations for Success
At Foxwell, we are life-long leaders and learners. We are equipped with the skills and tools for success, prepared to adapt, and resilient in the face of challenges. We strive to be our best selves - both in school and beyond.
We achieve this by living and learning through our 6 C's, which are embedded in everything we do:
- Character – Being respectful, responsible and kind; making ethical choices and showing integrity.
- Collaboration – Working effectively with others, valuing diverse perspectives and building strong relationships.
- Communication – Expressing ideas clearly and listening with purpose across a range of contexts.
- Creativity – Thinking innovatively, exploring ideas and approaching challenges with imagination.
- Critical Thinking – Asking questions, analysing information and making thoughtful decisions.
- Citizenship – Acting with purpose, contributing to our community, and engaging with the world as informed, active citizens.
Together, the 6 C's shape who we are as Foxwell learners - now and into the future.
A Connected Community
Foxwell is more than just a college - it is a vibrant, inclusive community. We build strong relationships with students, their families, staff, local industries, higher education providers, and community organisations to ensure our learners are supported, connected, and inspired.
We welcome you to our College community.
