College Principal’s Message

At Essendon Keilor College, we are committed to nurturing the progress of each student at every stage of their learning journey.

Essendon Keilor College operates across three campuses. Our East Keilor and Niddrie campuses cater to Year 7-9 students, emphasising the crucial middle years of education. Our goal is to facilitate a smooth transition from primary school, engaging students with diverse, challenging, and exciting activities.

Situated in heritage-listed buildings, our Essendon Campus is dedicated to Year 10-12 students and boasts a rich history linked to the original school site. Here, students have access to a broad spectrum of opportunities, including Year 10 electives, VCE, VET, and Vocational Major certificates. This enables each individual to create a tailored three-year program, ensuring they are well-prepared for success in their chosen pathway.

All three campuses at Essendon Keilor College offer an exceptional learning environment that is both inspiring and interconnected. Our commitment to individual growth and success, coupled with a strong emphasis on support and connection, encourages our students to embody our core expectations: “Be Respectful, Be Engaged, Be Aspirational, and Be a Learner.”

Students at our college have abundant opportunities to excel, whether in general academic pursuits, sports academies, visual and performing arts, debating, leadership, or instrumental music programs. We believe in providing a platform for students to showcase their talents, not only to the local community but also to the broader school community. These events serve a dual purpose by bringing the school community together to celebrate the diverse achievements of our students.

We foster a vibrant sense of community, cultivating a robust three-way partnership among home, students, and school. Our belief in high expectations empowers students to take responsibility for their own learning. By emphasising the holistic development of each individual, we have a theme centred around building positive connections and providing our students with the opportunity to be the best version of themselves each and every day.

While this website offers valuable insights, it cannot substitute the firsthand experience of exploring our school. I extend a warm invitation for you to get in touch with us and uncover why Essendon Keilor College is an excellent choice for your child and family.
