The Hamilton and Alexandra College

The Hamilton and Alexandra College is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school, ELC to Year 12. With our strong history and traditional values, our students 'learn to learn'. We have outstanding facilities and innovative educational programs with an excellent team of staff enriching confident futures. The College is highly respected as the prime educational institution in the local and regional community and plays an important role through its community work, leadership programs, and co-curricular programs. Day students commute from as far away as Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Balmoral, Mortlake, Portland and Lake Bolac. Our boarders come from metropolitan, rural and regional Australia and overseas. We currently have over 500 students from ELC to Year 12 across our Junior and Senior schools. As well as our full boarding program, we also have a casual boarding and day boarding program, many students live between one to two hours drive from College and enjoy taking the bus home to continue to be a part of their local sporting clubs. Our students have the best of both worlds. The College is a member of the Ecumenical Schools System, holding services and celebrations with the Uniting Church.
