We strive to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. Our commitment to excellence in education is reflected in both our teaching and learning, along with our wellbeing practices.

Our rich curriculum includes a variety of educational programs such as the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program, and our unique Warri STEM specialist program where we live and learn by the sea. Our facilities are exceptional, featuring an Environmental Centre with an aviary and wetlands, community learning spaces, art studios, a well-resourced library, multimedia and performing art studios, edible gardens, a student-managed cafe, a basketball stadium, a soccer pitch, an athletics track, tennis courts, and a grassed oval.
Torquay College has created strong partnerships with the community, creating a positive transition program from early education which permeates throughout the school. We celebrate the rich cultural heritage of the Wadawurrung People and foster a sense of belonging and respect for all. This is reflected in our daily practices, such as our Morning Circles, which help instill our core values of Respect, Friendship, and Personal Best in every student.
