Learning is seen as a journey of discovery about self and the local and global communities in which we live. Students are encouraged to become active participants in their learning; to play and explore, think critically, collaborate, solve problems and innovate.

Bellarine Campus – Drysdale
The Bellarine Peninsula’s only independent college, our campus invites Prep to Year 4s into our Junior School and Years 5 to 9 into our Middle School. We offer unique opportunities for learning, collaboration and personal development across all the year levels.
