Dohertys Creek P-9 College is a dynamic and innovative school with a wonderfully diverse school community. Our school is built on a foundation of inclusivity and robust relationships. Our pedagogy is inquiry based and we work hard to ensure that all children are safe, cared for and taught at their point of need. Our college is committed to developing strong partnerships with the community and is complemented by our active onsite Community Hub. Our motto is Balit Yirramboi meaning ¿Strong Tomorrow¿. We firmly believe it takes a village to raise a child.

Our school is built on Bunurong land and is located at 60 Elmhurst Rd, Truganina. At DCC we acknowledge the Bunurong people and how they have cared for the land we learn and play on. We respect their commitment to community and strive to build this commitment within our school. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that it is and always will be Aboriginal land.

Built in 2019, we have a beautiful school setting with Wirrigirri, our Administration/Library building as our centre, Djirri Djirri, our purpose building gymnasium, Bulen Bulen, our performing arts space and fantastic classroom spaces in Waa, Wadjil, Marram and Barraimal. Our playground spaces have been designed with input from the students; we have a fruit orchard in its infancy and a beautiful piano which can be heard being played during break times.

We have a strong social and emotional curriculum which supports our inclusive and relationship-based philosophy. We also teach Mandarin, Physical Education, Visual Art and Performing Arts.



There is support and coaching for teachers at all levels of experience from PTT, graduates to highly experienced teachers as we are always looking to improve. Collaboration is a cornerstone of our practice.
