The student enrolment is currently 803 but can increase to 900 depending on international student enrolments.

We are passionately a government school and are proud to be the school of choice in the local area. Our values are Respect, Integrity, Care and Compassion.

We have a high expectation that students will continue onto tertiary studies with enthusiasm and confidence. We focus on developing 'future-ready' students, equipped for life beyond school in a challenging local and global environment. Independent, inquisitive learning, and global perspectives are incorporated throughout the curriculum. A strong and motivated Student Representative Council ensures that student voice is heard. In addition to being an active subcommittee of school council the SRC hosts a number of events each year, including a wonderful Student Talent Show. Curriculum is designed to allow all students to participate in a wide range of purposeful learning experiences. Its structure ensures that students can build on their achievements and plan for the development of specialised skills in later years. With the recent completion of much of our ongoing building and grounds redevelopment program, students and staff learn and teach in a sophisticated, technologically well-equipped environment to meet the 21st century educational needs of teachers and students. We value collaboration and partnership with our families as well as with a range of community, educational, industry and government organisations both in Victoria and overseas. We encourage and support parents and families to be engaged in student curriculum activities, our school culture and environment. Elwood College has developed a sophisticated transition process, Second Storey, with our feeder primary schools, and we are working on building stronger relationships between primary, secondary and tertiary education settings to provide students with a continuum of learning and a strong sense of community. Global citizenship is fostered through real world contexts for learning.
