Kambrya College is a large secondary school, located in the south-east rapid growth corridor of Berwick. It is a place of outstanding learning and professional practice. The College provides a broad range of learning opportunities and caters for a broad range of needs, interests, and pathways. In 2025, results have continued to improve in areas of student outcomes and school climate. Student enrolments have risen dramatically, increasing to 2369 students in 2025. With further growth forecast, the college has been planning accordingly. In 2025, 42% of students identified as being EAL (English as an Additional Language). In 2025, the College's Socio-Economic Profile band value was Low-Medium. In alignment with the increased enrolments, the College's workforce increased in 2025, and included 210 teachers, 6 Principal Class members, and 85 non-teaching staff. The College enrols students from within its neighbourhood boundary, with Brentwood Primary, Berwick Fields Primary, Berwick Chase Primary and Grayling Primary School being our major feeder schools. Due to significant enrolment growth and lack of capacity, the college has strictly enforced the zone and has not enrolled students from outside our zone. This is in alignment with our DET Enrolment Management Plan.
The College continues to offer a large suite of in-house Vocational Education Training (VET) programs (Sport and Recreation, Plumbing, Cookery, Beauty Services, Building and Construction, Creative Industries, Business, Salon Assistant, and Information and Communication Technology). Students in Years 7-10 have access to an accredited Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) program. In 2025 we also continued to offer specialist programs for students in the junior years; these include an Athlete Development Program (ADP), Musician Development Program (MDP) and the Achieving Individual Milestones (AIMS) Program (Year 7-8) which caters to the needs of students who require additional learning support in their transition to secondary school. At Year 9 we also have two flagship re-engagement programs: The Darrabi Program which targets Year 9 boys, and the G.I.R.Ls Program (Growing Independent and Resilient Learners). Both programs continue to deliver excellent outcomes. The College values are: Integrity, Compassion, Achievement and Respect. These are instilled in all that we do and create the foundation of our strategic intent; `Maximising the Potential of Each Student¿.
In 2025, Year 7-9 students were again organised into a 'School within a School' model. This sees them based in one of four vertical sub-schools: Gwonawa, Warin, Bulen-Bulen and Mirrim. The Senior Sub-school is split into Yr.10, 11 and 12. These sub-schools cater for students' core classes and provide the foundation for their management and welfare, giving students a sense of belonging to a close network of peers and teachers within a bigger school setting. Each Sub-School has a dedicated team of leaders, including a Sub-School Leader, 2 x Assistant Leaders, Learning Mentors (Years 7-9), and wellbeing counsellors. To support our language program, our college has sister-school links in Germany and Japan, and cultural exchanges are facilitated. The College is moving towards the end of its four-year strategic plan cycle and is making steady progress towards goals and targets.
