About Ellesmere College
Ellesmere knows that students develop at different rates and at different times. The support for each individual student is tailored so they can confidently embark on the journey and become 'Life Ready', offering students the very best in education today and are now an accredited 'High Performance Learning World Class School 2021'.
We use the High Performance Learning philosophy and framework in our school. This means that we believe that all the students can be high performers, and we teach with these expectations in mind. Using the research-based High Performance Learning approach helps us to systematically build the cognitive competencies that lead a young person to thrive in school and in later life.
We never tell our students they cannot achieve; it is just they are not there yet but with practice and perseverance it will happen. That is why we put as much effort into embedding quality learning skills so at each stage students have the intellectual tools to embrace the challenge and progress.
