Home Group Teachers


Home Group Teachers



Diamond Valley College is organised into a Junior Sub-school and a Senior Sub-school. Each sub-school consists of a team of home group teachers and co-ordinators who manage and monitor student’s academic progress, welfare and discipline. The sub school structure at Diamond Valley College enables us to provide optimal opportunities for all students to achieve their personal best in their learning. In our learning community there is an emphasis on developing positive relations between students as well as between staff and students.
Home group teachers work as a team to support the coordinators. In junior levels, the Home group teacher will have classroom contact time with their group. This allows them to support each student with their transition into secondary school and provides them with the opportunity to get to know each class member and their individual needs. Parents are encouraged to contact Home group teachers by telephone or letter on any issues of concern, particularly in relation to matters such as academic progress, attendance and welfare.

This sub-school structure is supplemented by a team dedicated to student welfare and career/ managed individual pathways.
