With approximately 1,000+ students on a spacious single campus, the college has grown significantly since its establishment and continues to expand alongside one of Melbourne's fastest-growing residential areas.
The school offers VCE, VCE Vocational Major, and 21 VET programs, supported by a dedicated Trade Training Centre and structured workplace learning. A gifted and talented extension program caters for high-ability students. Co-curricular opportunities span 20+ sports, performing arts, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and social justice initiatives.
The college fosters a warm, values-driven culture where pastoral care is central. A dedicated House system is supported by a wellbeing team including a psychologist, social worker, chaplain, and family liaison officer. Teaching here is treated as a vocation, not just a profession.
