Principal's welcome

Welcome to Charles La Trobe P-12 College!

Charles La Trobe College is one of Melbourne's most innovative schools offering the latest in educational facilities and programs for students from Prep to Year 12.
Our exciting new P-12 College, which is the main campus of Charles La Trobe College, is located in the northern suburb of Macleod West, and is adjacent to La Trobe University. Quantum Victoria, which is one of six state specialist Mathematics and Science Centres, is collocated within our College.
In addition to the main campus, there is a second smaller campus, the Olympic Village campus which offers a Prep – Year 4 environment with the same high quality programs. The Olympic Village campus enjoys the benefits of a small school with strong community ties.
The College is divided into 3 ‘mini’ schools matching the stages of learning.

  • Junior School – Prep-Year 4
  • Middles School - Year 5-8
  • Senior School Year - 9-12

Each ‘mini’ school has its own entrance, outdoor area and canteen facilities. All students have access to specialist teachers and facilities. There is also a major focus on the teaching of mathematics and science in the College.

The College is committed to achieving excellence for all our students and this is supported by:

  • our close partnership with La Trobe University.
  • our new flexible learning spaces and buildings on the corner of Waiora Road and Kingsbury Drive
  • Quantum Victoria, a centre of excellence in the physical sciences which is embedded within the College. This new State Science Centre will deliver innovative programs to all students in the State.
  • Links with Northland Secondary College for student pathways in design, art and technology and as a VCAL (applied learning) provider.

A key focus of the College is the individualisation of learning programs focused on each child's abilities – ‘personalised learning’. We personalise every child’s learning by tailoring programs to children’s abilities and monitoring and ensuring they are challenged to progress to the next level.  Learning experiences are engaging, relevant, rich in technology, providing challenges and  helping each student realise their full potential.

Thank you for your interest in our College. We are excited about the new educational precinct and all it has to offer our community.
