    We value learning as the key attribute of developed individuals and communities. Everyone at Ballarat Clarendon College is a learner. We know that learning happens when goals can be clearly articulated, assessment is accurate and insightful, and interventions occur when progress is not being made. Both staff and students require accurate, immediate and continuous feedback, to develop their expertise as learners and teachers.Our prime function is to prepare young people for independent and informed participation in the global community. As such, reaching a necessary level of competency in core life skills such as literacy, numeracy and communication becomes an issue of equity. Authentic learning can also involve conflict and problem resolution. These are essential for students to develop their core values, beliefs, attitudes, knowledge, skills, and understanding of themselves as a learner, which are critical to the development of an independent individual capable of ethical decision making.
