PENTAGON COLLEGE is a vibrant and highly effective College that has a central place in its extremely diverse and growing local community. PENTAGON COLLEGE offers an inclusive environment where individual identity and excellence are celebrated and students are encouraged to learn together.
Redevelopment in the area continues apace and this adds to the significant diversity in student population, characterised by students from the full range of socio-economic backgrounds and a multitude of cultural heritages.
We have committed, proactive teachers and dedicated support staff that support and encourage the learning of all students. Our staff members have high expectations of themselves and their students and adopt a wide variety of innovative approaches on a whole College basis.
This College has a long term strategic plan which outlines the direction of the College in broad terms. The College’s Operation Plans that are developed each year provide more detailed planning, outlining targets for student achievement, key strategies, programs and how these will be resourced.
