In 2022, the college had an enrolment of 1033 students. 370 of which attended the Shakespeare Steet Campus (Years 7 & 8) and 663 students attended our Grey Street Campus (Years 9-12). Our two campuses are approximately 4 km apart.
Our ambition is to be the 'school of choice' for students and parents in Traralgon. Our community is a relatively diverse community in socioeconomic terms, drawing on students from Traralgon as well as the surrounding smaller towns in the Latrobe Valley and the Inner Gippsland Region. Our families represent a range of occupational groupings including students from more disadvantaged sections of our community. Our current School Family Occupation and Education Index (SFOE) is considered to represent a medium level of disadvantage of 0.5106.
The college is led by a Principal team with a College Principal across both campuses, an Adult Learning and Pedagogy Principal across both campuses, a Campus Principal and an Assistant Principal at each campus. Together with the Learning Specialists they formed the college and campus leadership teams. Staff employed at Traralgon College are employed on a college basis and may from time to time be transferred from one campus to the other, in line with the college’s needs.
