Ngayuk College is a new co-educational government secondary school located in the heart of Kalkallo, Victoria. Opened in 2026 with a foundation cohort of Year 7 students, the school will grow by one year level each year, eventually catering for up to 2000 students from Years 7 to 12 in 2031.
Established in response to the rapid population growth in Melbourne¿s northern corridor, Ngayuk College serves as a vibrant educational hub for families across Kalkallo, Donnybrook, and surrounding communities. Situated within the North-Western Victoria Region, the school offers an inclusive, future-focused learning environment designed to meet the needs of today¿s adolescents and nurture the leaders of tomorrow.
Positioned just 50km north of Melbourne, Kalkallo is a fast-growing and culturally diverse community. 58% of residents speak a language other than English (LOTE) with the largest LOTE group being Punjabi. Rich in potential and united by a shared aspiration for high-quality, local education, Ngayuk College is designed not just as a place for learning, but as a central part of the community¿where students, families, and educators come together to shape a better future.
The school¿s state-of-the-art facilities include modern learning spaces, a well-resourced library, dedicated science and creative arts areas, outdoor learning terraces, landscaped grounds, and community-oriented spaces, including a sports field and a future community hub. These facilities support an engaging, adaptable, and connected learning experience for all students.
