Birranga College sits in a rapidly growing residential area in the suburb of Clyde North. The school will work in partnership with the community to provide authentic learning opportunities and the best academic and personal outcomes for all students. Birranga College is a new secondary school opening in January 2026 with Year 7 enrolments only. Subsequent year levels will be added each year. Neighbouring schools are relatively large and the school is expected to grow quickly to meet residents demand for excellence in education, consistent with the vision for the Education State.
Birranga College will provide students with state-of-the-art facilities in STEM, Visual Arts, Physical Education and Performing Arts spaces to cater for the learning needs of all students. Our community creates rich and rigorous learning experiences that empower us all to participate with curiosity, purpose and insight.
This will be achieved through the implementation of an innovative curriculum and an Instructional Model, to guide us in implementing more consistent, high quality, assessment, teaching and learning practices with clear expectations for staff, students and parents.
