College Overview
Overnewton Anglican Community College is a co-educational Preparatory to Year 12 College catering for approximately 2,000 students across two campuses, Canowindra located in Taylors Lakes and Yirramboi in Keilor. Overnewton Anglican Community College strives to be an inclusive learning community, providing a respectful environment where students aspire to excellence in a broad range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities. We value our Christian foundation, and the importance of parents as active members of our College family as we work together, endeavoring to prepare each of our students to be mentally, physically and spiritually ready for life.
All staff participate in the full life of Overnewton College, including being supportive of our Christian ethos and contributing to the breadth and depth of our student and staff programs. Joining Overnewton College means being part of an inspiring, caring and professional community, innately believing that students are at the centre of our decisions.
Four schools, two campuses, one college The College is organised into Junior School (Preparatory - Year 4, Canowindra Campus), Middle School (Years 5
- 8, Yirramboi Campus), Year 9 (Canowindra Campus), and Senior School (Years 10 - 12, Yirramboi Campus). Each School has its own Head of School and its own Parent Support Team and is functionally self-contained. The structure gives a small school community intimacy to the entire College and is supported by our large school facilities, large behaviour is a natural outcome of motivated students, engaging and demanding programs and excellent pastoral care systems.
Proudly Anglican The College has a Chaplain and every child attends Chapel once a week. Christian festivals are celebrated, Christian values are promoted and active faith is encouraged. Religious Studies is taught from Preparatory Year to Year 11.
Affordable education To allow access to our education, the College maintains affordable fees with State and Commonwealth Government funding providing the balance.
Consistently high academic results Our VCE results are particularly pleasing when we consider that Overnewton encourages all students to complete the VCE regardless of their academic ability. Overnewton participates in the NAPLAN tests and results can be viewed here.
Parental involvement Recognising that education is a partnership, the College seeks high parental involvement and each family contributes 12 hours of service to the College per term. There are over fifty parent working groups helping in areas such as classroom assistance, gardening, yard duty, student banking, photocopying, catering, canteens and the annual fair. There are regular working bees at each campus. The parental involvement is a key to the success of a student's experience in the College. Students attend the College knowing they have the complete support and commitment of their parents behind them.
