About the project

We supported 2 local primary schools and one secondary school to come together to form a new P–12 college in Orbost.

Orbost Community College is the name of the new P–12 college, which opened in 2024. The school is located on the Orbost Secondary College site.

The merger combined Orbost Primary School, Orbost North Primary School, and Orbost Secondary College. It will provide students with first-rate facilities and greater opportunities.

Completed work

The first stage of the project included building a new food technology building and renovating and upgrading the existing canteen in the school hall.

The next stage involved:

  • demolishing a teaching building
  • constructing a new junior building
  • extending the administration building
  • landscaping.

Site and features

The new site provides new learning spaces for students of every ability with:

  • a modern food technology building
  • multi-purpose classrooms in a junior learning hub
  • an expanded contemporary staffroom
  • a multicourt and outdoor stage area.

Funding

In the 2021–22 State Budget, the school received $7.271 million. In 2022 the school was allocated a further $1,198,228.
