Committed to removing barriers to education, Saints College has no fees, provides transport support, and prioritises wellbeing through daily meals and additional support for students and families.
Colac Campus
Established as a full campus in 2022, the Saints College Colac Campus holds an important place in the College’s growth and connection to the local community. The campus emerged from the commitment of young people from the Colac region who were initially supported through the Geelong site, highlighting a strong need for accessible, local learning opportunities.
Learning at the Colac Campus is enriched through regular off‑site and community‑based experiences across the region. Participation in Ready for Work programs remains a key focus, supporting students to build practical skills, confidence, and pathways beyond school. Programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of each young person, fostering engagement, belonging, and positive future outcomes.
