Orbost Community College is located in Far East Gippsland on the banks of the iconic Snowy River. Our school was formed in 2024 through the merger of Orbost Secondary College, Orbost North Primary School, and Orbost Primary School. Through the merger of these schools, we developed the following purpose, 'Together, we create a place of learning, connection and opportunity.'
Our vision is 'Creating bright futures for our learners and our community.' We began life as a Prep-12 school but aim to continue to develop so we can cater for ages below Prep and above Year 12, becoming the centre of learning in our community.
We currently have an enrolment of approximately 350 students from Grade Prep through to Year 12. Our staffing profile includes a Principal and Assistant Principal, four Leading Teachers and two Learning Specialists. In total, we have approximately 60 staff, although many of these are part-time employees of varying time fractions.
Our community was once a meeting place for local Aboriginal people from three distinct groups, the Monaro-Ngarigo, Gunnai-Kurnai and Biddiwall. Since European settlement, the main industries have been timber and farming, particularly dairy farming. In recent years, other industries have become more prominent, including tourism, hospitality, and service industries. We have a well-resourced health centre that includes emergency treatment and aged care among the many services that it provides to our community.
The ambition is for our school to become a hub for Orbost - a place where children, young people, families, and the broader community come together to learn. We will provide opportunities that guide, focus, and lift our students' aspirations, to feel supported to follow the path of their choice. We want them to feel proud of our town and passionate about the future.
Together we are creating one school for one town with many opportunities for our students and the community.
