Helping every child reach his or her full
potential and providing a high standard of
service to our community is Lowanna's aim.
We are truly committed to pursuing excellence
within a caring environment. Lowanna College is one of three large government secondary education providers in the Latrobe Valley with a clear will to establishing itself as a centre of educational excellence in the Gippsland Region. It is a modern, well appointed single campus college with a student population of 1100 and 130 staff members. The College is located in Newborough and draws its enrolments from Moe/ Newborough, district towns of Yallourn North, Erica, Rawson, Willow Grove and surrounding rural areas. As well as providing quality programs in English, Mathematics and Science, the College also offers a wide range of quality options in Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Humanities, Technology, The Arts, and Health and Physical Education. We believe the programs offered in Performing Arts (Music and Drama), Sport, Physical Education and Outdoor Education set the College apart from other schools in the district. The College is committed to preparing young people for a technological world, and has built a statewide reputation as a leader in effective use of learning technologies. The College boasts excellent facilities. These include a sophisticated computer network, which provides state of the art resources for students and staff. It also has a 580-seat auditorium which supports a strong performing arts program and a double gymnasium with sprung floor which enhances the Physical Education and Sports program. These facilities not only benefit Lowanna students but also are made readily available to the wider community. |
