Differentiated learning is a cornerstone of Footscray High School’s Teaching and Learning Program. All students, regardless of their starting point, are supported and challenged to achieve their individual learning goals. FHS draws on a range of system and school-based data related to student learning, engagement, and wellbeing to monitor progress as students transition into, move through, and graduate from the school into tertiary pathways. A wide range of targeted enrichment and intervention programs is offered at every year level to ensure all students experience growth and success.
