Form of workBenalla P-12 College is located in the Rural City of Benalla which is ideally located close to the Victorian snowfields and the major centres of Wangaratta and Shepparton. The town is surrounded by quality wineries and a variety of natural environments, with the Murray River only an hour away.

We provide a vibrant teaching and stimulating learning environment that commences with Grade Prep and continues through the secondary years to VCE and VCAL.
Our College structure has 3 separate sites across the town:
Avon Campus (P-4)
Waller Campus (P-4)
Faithfull / Clarke Campus (5-12)
Each site has an Assistant Principal and there is also a College Principal.
The Benalla P-12 College vision is to ensure that every child learns and is prepared for the future through a commitment to excellence in teaching, high expectations and positive relationships in a safe and inclusive environment.

We provide our students with opportunities to develop leadership skills through a range of programs and formal leadership positions available on each campus. We recognise that a safe and orderly learning environment and high expectations are essential elements in ensuring that all our students learn and reach their full potential and we achieve this through the implementation of the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support Program.
