Collingwood College is a government P-12 school established in 1882 and is located in the inner-city suburb of Collingwood, close to Melbourne¿s CBD. In 2025 the school had an enrolment of around 634 students with this number reduced in part due to the COVID pandemic and a decline in the international student population.

The school draws students from many different suburbs in and around Melbourne. Collingwood College remains a culturally diverse school with 25% of the student cohort having a language background other than English and 2% of our student cohort being Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander.

Each sub-school is organised to create the most appropriate setting and approach for children at the different stages of their development. The college has a defined philosophy of education and has three main streams of learning, including a P-6 inquiry based mainstream learning approach, a secondary MYP IB mainstream program based on the Victorian Curriculum and a specialist P-9 Steiner Program.
