With strong community values and a reputation for innovation, Torquay College students enjoy a rich curriculum in a stimulating, safe and supportive environment. Our 800 students are actively engaged in developing critical thinking, technological and communication skills to equip them as 21st Century citizens.

​

From foundational numeracy and literacy skills, to an international exchange program, LOTE-Indonesian teaching, and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation program, we engage students in their own educational and emotional learning  journey. We do this through contemporary inquiry-based learning, which is supported by a highly motivated teaching team and strong ICT, Science, Sustainability, Intervention, Physical Education, Visual and Performing Arts Programs.

​

Our facilities include an Environment Centre with aviary and wetlands, a student-managed cafe, an edible garden and chicken house, art studios, vibrant, well resourced Library, rehearsal/ recording/ film editing rooms and an all weather soccer pitch and athletics track, tennis courts, cricket nets and grassed oval.

​

Our values and programs reflect the high priority and commitment of our parents and community for excellence in a positive and caring environment.
