The College has a long and colourful history. The current school, and its precursor institutions, are an important part of the story of this vibrant inner-suburban community with connections dating back to the early days of Melbourne’s history.
In 2007, the College celebrated its 125th anniversary with the publication of a book, The School on the Flat: Collingwood College 1882-2007, which was published and launched at the annual Spring Fair day in September 2007. $25 Hardback available from the School office or good local bookshops.
This publication was expertly researched and written by historian John Young, a retired researcher from the National Centre for Australian Studies at Monash University, typeset and designed by parent and friends of the College and produced as an attractive hard back book. Copies are available from the office or contact Amanda Collins.Read Good old Collingwood – forever, a recent article in The Age about the College’s 125th Anniversary.Find out more about the history of Collingwood at the Collingwood Historical Society.
Collingwood College values diversity, creativity, innovation, relationships and achievement.
The basis of learning and teaching at Collingwood College is to provide challenging and engaging curricula through which each student is able to experience personal, physical, creative and spiritual growth and aesthetic expression within a challenging academic framework.
The social, emotional and physical development of each child lies at the heart of the educational process. Collectively and individually all members of the Collingwood College community will, through discernible action, demonstrate a concern for the welfare of others.
Staff, students and families are committed to working inclusively through open and effective communication between all college members.
Collingwood College embraces the diversity of its community. Understanding of diversity is integral to the curriculum of the school. We embrace diversity in our teaching and learning practice, in extra curricula activities and relationships between teachers, students, parents and the broader community. All members of the community are encouraged to be life-long learners.
The College is committed to all students achieving their potential. There are two key aspects to this. First, the development of new and more effective program options for students on all campuses. Second, the maintenance and further development of pathways for students from the college to further study or work.
The College seeks to expand options for students by developing a design specialism in concert with Fitzroy High School.
The College seeks to build on its accreditation as an International school (ECIS /CIASa) by pursuing the introduction of the International Baccalaureate Diploma program.
