The Geelong College

The Geelong College is an independent school in Newtown spanning multiple campuses with both modern facilities and heritage buildings. It provides education from kindergarten through Year 12 and offers boarding options for students.

The Geelong College was founded in 1861 by Alexander James Campbell with links to the Presbyterian Church. The institution later became associated with the Uniting Church in Australia.

The school maintains two residential halls, Mackie House for male and Mossgiel House for female boarders, reflecting how the institution structures student life and community building.

Students have access to structured academic support with designated study periods in the evenings, during which mobile phone and social media use are restricted. Visitors should note the school operates across multiple campus locations and should plan accordingly to explore the areas of interest.

The school hosts the annual Geelong College Challenge, which invites regional government schools to participate in competitions across art, music, drama, and technology. This event demonstrates how the institution engages its broader local education community.
