Wanganui Park Secondary College was a Government secondary college, with an enrolment of about 1,300 students from years 7 to 12, in Shepparton, Victoria.[citation needed] It was amalgamated into Greater Shepparton Secondary College along with three other schools.[1]
The school had a unique curriculum, with the most notable feature being its Vertical Modular Grouping (VMG) system, which allowed for a high degree of flexibility in students' unit selections from years 8 to 10.[citation needed] The school also offered enrolment for year 7, and for years 11 and 12, the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). Biology teacher Andrew Douch received the Microsoft Worldwide Innovative Teacher of the Year Award and the Victorian Education Excellence Award for curriculum innovation at the school.[2] The school received a federal grant for a literacy and numeracy program.[citation needed] An innovative program called 'Learning to Learn' was implemented in 2009.[citation needed]
