Templestowe College is located 17 km east from the centre of Melbourne in Lower Templestowe, on Wurundjeri country. It is easily accessible by car from the Eastern Freeway and any of the major roads in the Northeast of Melbourne. It is also supported by an extensive bus network that operates around the school.

The school is on 6.5 ha of land and incorporates significant green space, including a well-developed permaculture garden and a small farm. We also have extensive facilities in the arts, performing arts, technology, science, and a single court sport stadium with fully equipped fitness centre.

School profile

Over the last 15 years the school has transformed from a school of last resort to a thriving community, where we now have approximately 1250 students and demand for places outstrips supply. We continue to improve and innovate by having a clear focus on both learning and wellbeing.

The learning environment promotes success in multiple ways based on our belief that every student should be achieving their best by embracing opportunities that are available at Templestowe College. Students have control over their learning program in our Flexible Learning Environment (FLE) that operates from year 8-10, and into our VCE programs. The FLE has more than 150 subjects from which to choose. This is a significant part of the approach we take at the college where student voice is at the centre.

The recent school review has identified the need for the school to refocus its work on student outcomes, to improve VCE and NAPLAN results, whilst maintaining its excellence in areas such as wellbeing, inclusion, student voice and agency, and the provision of a calm and orderly learning environment.





A strength of our college is the excellent relationships that exist between the students and the staff at the school. Staff are committed to supporting the academic progress and wellbeing of students where strong, respectful relationships are the basis for all communication. Students are encouraged to interact closely with their teachers and seek help at any time.
