Warrnambool College is committed to preparing our students to become community and professional leaders in their chosen fields. To this end students are provided with a rich array of opportunities to develop the confidence and skills which they can take with them after graduating.

Apart from the formal leadership roles described here there are many other daily opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills. Leadership development at all levels of our school is encouraged and valued.

Why take on a Student Leadership Role?

• Learn new skills and build my personal leadership capacity
• To be a voice and make a difference within the College.
• Work with and get to know new people.
• Represent the school at community events.
• Undertake special leadership training programs and activities.

Warrnambool College presents ‘Strictly Ballroom the Musical’ the inspiring story of a dancer who defies the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting tale features songs from the film “Love is in the Air” and “Time After Time”. There are 4 shows over August 2nd and 3rd and tickets are now on sale through the Lighthouse Theatre.

Hands on learning is an innovative education program that caters to the different ways young people learn.

Warrnambool College continues its tradition of recognising past students who have excelled in their chosen field through the presenting of the Sir John Eccles Tall Poppies Awards.

This award is named in honour of the highly lauded Sir John Eccles AC, Nobel Laureate and Rhodes Scholar. Sir John was a pupil at Warrnambool High School during the years 1915-1918. His distinguished academic life and his contribution to the world community in the field of neuroscience are recognised in the striking of this award. It will be presented to past students of Warrnambool College.

Warrnambool College has a pupil population in the vicinity of 1250 students, with approximately 50 of these being indigenous. As with many regional towns, our indigenous students’ ancestries come from many and varied clans and places in Australia, with only a small percentage coming from Gunditjmara country. We value the rich history of the original land owners and attempt to celebrate that tradition and history in the 21st century.
