Lake Colac School

This school benefitted from Victoria’s largest ever single investment in upgrading specialist schools, with 39 sharing $388.8 million.

With the funding, we rebuilt the school on part of the former Colac High School site on Murray Street.

We modernised the existing heritage building on the site to house:

• staff areas and workspaces
• a library
• art room
• music room
• woodwork room
• food technology facility
• an Early Education Program (EEP) facility with its own dedicated playground.

We built new facilities, including:

• a classroom building with fit-for-purpose learning spaces, staff areas and art and food preparation spaces
• an administration building with a multi-purpose space, fitness room, reception, offices and a meeting room.

We also provided external works, including:

• a new visitor/staff car park
• a separate and secure bus and student entry area
• play areas
• a garden.

This school was previously known as Colac Specialist School. It changed names from the start of 2024.
