COLLEGE STRUCTURE
When a student begins at Strathmore Secondary College they are welcomed into one of five College teams: Argyll, Burnet, Chisholm, Dunlop or Stirling. They remain in that team from Year 7 to Year 10. Each team has three coordinators who organise activities and events, liase with parents, manage the students and assist in their development as individuals.
Year 11 and 12 students continue in a team arrangement and are encouraged to become independent with their studies. The senior school strives for a healthy balance between social and academic opportunities.
Strathmore's team structure allows coordinators to give students individual attention and to have a deeper understanding of their needs as they progress through the school. Student coordinators often teach within their team providing an even more personal atmosphere within the team.
These arrangements have proved valuable in providing both academic and social support to our students and for effective communication between the College and families. It is an integral element of the College's whole school approach to student welfare. We believe that knowing our students and their families well helps us to identify and resolve any issues or concerns quickly and in the most appropriate way.
