Diamond Valley College is continuously evolving, with the most recent focus being enhancing facilities to support the best possible teaching and learning environments. Recent upgrades include the state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre, featuring modern music facilities and a 150-seat theatre, and a revitalised Resource Centre with a redesigned Library, suite of classrooms, and a STEM maker space.
