Overnewton Anglican Community College

Overnewton Anglican Community College is a premier school in Melbourne's north-west. We strive to be an inclusive learning community with a strong Christian foundation. We value a respectful environment where students, staff and families, working together aspire to excellence. Broad educational opportunities prepare students to serve as empowered, thoughtful, community-minded citizens. Our Keilor Campus opened in 1987 in direct response to community need for accessible quality education in the north-west of Melbourne. Our second campus, at Taylors Lakes, opened in 1996. The College is organised into Junior School (Preparatory – Year 4), Middle School (Years 5 - 8), Canowindra (Year 9), and Senior School (Years 10 - 12). Each School has its own Head of School and its own Parent Support Team and is functionally self-contained. The structure gives a small school community intimacy to the entire College and is supported by our large school facilities, large VCE subject choice and support services. The College is a safe, happy, ordered environment in which disciplined behaviour is a natural outcome of motivated students, engaging and demanding programs and excellent pastoral care systems.
