The MVAC Way

Our teaching and learning programs empower our teachers to assist each child and meet individual needs.

MVAC believes in a holistic approach to education that seeks to develop students as individuals. The MVAC approach to learning creates independent learners who actively problem solve and self-direct their learning experience.

Under the guidance of Guy Claxton’s Learning Power Approach, The MVAC Way is built on four core dispositions: Collaborative, Resilient, Resourceful and Engaged.

Together the four dispositions combine to allow students to grow and develop into flourishing members of the school community and beyond the college gates.

The emotional, social and physical wellbeing of all students is at the heart of our approach to teaching and learning. We understand that this begins in the classroom with clear instructional teaching strategies guided by caring professionals. Teachers nurture students to ‘learn how to learn’, empowering them with a toolkit of understanding on what it takes to be collaborative, resilient, resourceful and engaged.

We serve the next generation of students of the Mid Coast and beyond to develop a life-long love of learning.

 

 

 

 

An MVAC student demonstrates the ability to listen respectfully to the opinions of others. Students are articulate in expressing their opinions but are open minded and can compromise when working with peers in order to achieve a common goal.

 

 

An MVAC student demonstrates their engagement through an intentional and strategic approach to learning. They are focused on their learning and seek to complete in a precise manner.

 

 

An MVAC student demonstrates resilience persistently with perseverance when faced with learning challenges. They adopt a growth mindset and have the determination to adapt the appropriate strategies to recover, progress and achieve.

 

 

An MVAC student demonstrates a resourceful approach to learning by being self-directed, equipped for learning and knowing how to use a variety of thinking and learning strategies in order to achieve their academic goals.

 

Education is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Learning takes many forms both in and out of the classroom. In seeking to achieve learning excellence, we teach students to accept responsibility for their learning, work cooperatively, set goals and take initiative. Following the Anglican tradition and the Christian ethos, we encourage students to explore their faith in the context of the modern world, and demonstrate Christian values such as honesty, compassion and respect.

Students who graduate from Manning Valley Anglican College have been nurtured to become authentic and capable young Australians, who can be confident in their abilities and their identities as they continue their learning journey.
