Lowanna College is located in Newborough, Victoria. The College draws its enrolment from Moe/Newborough, and district towns of Yallourn North, Erica, Rawson, Willow Grove and the surrounding rural areas. In 2015 the school has a student population of 1024.〔(''Schools Online'', "Lowanna College - Newark Campus ), Retrieved 22 April 2007〕 ==Achievements== In 2006 Lowanna College was successful in receiving funding under the Department of Educations "Leading Schools Fund" Initiative to develop and implement a curriculum program for Year 7 students based on the concept of "Personalised Learning, using an Enquiry Learning approach", and supported by a new information communications technology rich building facility. The aim was to change teaching practice and improve student outcomes throughout the College. The initial funding gave Lowanna College an opportunity to select and professionally develop a teaching team that would lead the Year 7 program in 2008, after trialling curriculum innovations in 2007 and developing a new student welfare and management approach for the college. The second stage of funding is helping the school to set in place a second team of teachers, provide ICT facilities such as banks of laptop computers, and electronic SMART Boards, and commence the new building facility while upgrading our existing facilities. The "Year 7 Learning Centre" was completed in late 2007. This centre will be the home for future year 7’s where they will have the opportunity to use the latest resources available to them all in the one area while still accessing the specialised facilities and programs of the college. The new centre will have audio and visual presentation areas, desktop and laptop computers, and facilities such as wet areas, kitchen facilities, conference areas etc. The Year 8’s will be accommodated in an adjacent building creating a new Junior School Complex. The new Learning Centre provides for an open plan learning environment where students will work under the direction of the Teaching Team and other support staff. Students will be grouped within their home group classes but will have the opportunity of being able to work within the centre using the appropriate learning technologies or being regrouped in different ways (e.g.: extension and support groups) for particular learning situations. Year 7 students will have their home group space, locker and the principal teaching team located within the facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lowanna Secondary College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
