AddressBoort District P-12 School is located approximately 100km Northwest of Bendigo. The school has an expected student enrolment of 190 in 2024. The school builds on the strong academic results of both senior and junior students and enjoys strong community support.
The school draws students from a wide geographic area with many coming from farms. Victorian Curriculum operates across P-10 and literacy programs support students in the early years. The school maintains a broad curriculum in the later years with VCE and VET (including the Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate) offered to students from Years 10-12. This is possible as Boort District School is a member of the North Central Cluster Network which provides the majority of VET and some of the Vocational Major subjects at the Trade Training Centre in Charlton. Cluster schools work cooperatively in sharing video conferencing for VCE subjects which ensures a comprehensive range of VCE subjects that cater for all students.
