College Overview

Overnewton Anglican Community College is a co-educational Preparatory to Year 12 College catering for
approximately 2,000 students across two campuses, Canowindra located in Taylors Lakes and Yirramboi in Keilor.
Overnewton Anglican Community College strives to be an inclusive learning community, providing a respectful
environment where students aspire to excellence in a broad range of curricular and co-curricular opportunities.
We value our Christian foundation, and the importance of parents as active members of our College family as we
work together, endeavoring to prepare each of our students to be mentally, physically and spiritually ready for life.

All staff participate in the full life of Overnewton College, including being supportive of our Christian ethos and
contributing to the breadth and depth of our student and staff programs. Joining Overnewton College means being
part of an inspiring, caring and professional community, innately believing that students are at the centre of our
decisions.

Four schools, two campuses, one college
The College is organised into Junior School (Preparatory - Year 4, Canowindra Campus), Middle School (Years 5
- 8, Yirramboi Campus), Year 9 (Canowindra Campus), and Senior School (Years 10 - 12, Yirramboi Campus). 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
behaviour is a natural outcome of motivated students, engaging and demanding programs and excellent pastoral
care systems.

Proudly Anglican
The College has a Chaplain and every child attends Chapel once a week. Christian festivals are celebrated,
Christian values are promoted and active faith is encouraged. Religious Studies is taught from Preparatory Year to
Year 11.

Affordable education
To allow access to our education, the College maintains affordable fees with State and Commonwealth
Government funding providing the balance.

Consistently high academic results
Our VCE results are particularly pleasing when we consider that Overnewton encourages all students to complete
the VCE regardless of their academic ability. Overnewton participates in the NAPLAN tests and results can be viewed
here.

Parental involvement
Recognising that education is a partnership, the College
seeks high parental involvement and each family
contributes 12 hours of service to the College per term.
There are over fifty parent working groups helping in areas
such as classroom assistance, gardening, yard duty,
student banking, photocopying, catering, canteens and
the annual fair. There are regular working bees at each
campus. The parental involvement is a key to the success
of a student's experience in the College. Students attend
the College knowing they have the complete support and
commitment of their parents behind them.
