Seymour College is a vibrant school located one hour from Melbourne that is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment across the three sectors of education, primary, secondary and special education.

All of our teachers, from early career graduates through to Leading Teachers, are provided with support and opportunities, with all having access to leadership opportunities, induction, mentoring and coaching.
The College encourages collaboration with the students, as well as their parents and carers throughout their learning. As part of our commitment to life-long learning, we are implementing the new Vocational Major and Vocational Pathway Certificate from 2023, have a Trade Training centre located on-site, and offer comprehensive careers and pathways planning for all students. Our commitment to student success is reflected in our NAPLAN data, which shows significant student learning growth from Years 3 to Year 9. This carries on into VCE, with our VCE outcomes sitting above many schools in our area.
