In 1989 the name was changed from Warrnambool Technical College to Brauer College after a local doctor who was a significant benefactor to the school over a long period of time
- Dr Alfred Brauer.

The College provides an innovative Year 7 curriculum program with an enhancement program to cater for students with a desire to learn and be challenged. A vertical curriculum from Year 8, has enabled students to accelerate in areas which they are strong, consolidate in areas where they are less able and to specialize in areas which they have a particular interest.

There is a strong focus on student leadership and students lead activities in the College and student achievements are regularly celebrated. Students have an extensive co-curricular program to engage them, including a highly acclaimed Music program, an extensive array of sporting academies, public speaking and leadership opportunities.
