Character development and striving for excellence go hand-in-hand with a caring and supportive learning environment. The Bellarine Campus fosters partnerships between the College, our families and the students, allowing each child to feel safe, valued and secure.
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.

Student highlights
Year 9 Transformation
Our unique Year 9 program includes half a term residential experience at our ‘Back Creek Farm’ and half a term on Campus in an ‘industrial space’ that operates independently of the College timetable and regular school classes.
The learning is cross-disciplinary and very much guided by the students. The Transformation Program explores each student’s personal character, their place in the world and how they can make a difference in both of these areas to contribute to human flourishing.
Exceptional Learning Programs
In the Junior School years (Prep to Year 4), our program provides strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, together with an unmatched specialist program in six learning areas, which are taught by teachers who are subject specialists.
In the Middle School years, core learning areas of English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Languages, GEOS, Health and PE, Music, Art and Digital Technologies are complemented by a wide-ranging elective program.
Musicians, Performers and Composers
The Centre for Music, Sport and Performing Arts has tuition rooms, large rehearsal spaces and a 260-seat auditorium that hosts music and drama performances. Our thriving music program starts in the classroom, extends to ensembles and provides scope for students to pursue their performance at the highest level.
