Maribyrnong College provides a broad education for 1350 students in Years 7-12. It is home to Victoria's only state funded Sports Designated Program with a select entry sports enrolment comprising approximately 40% of the school population. Our motto, 'Pride in Performance', embodies the culture of aspiration and effort that underpins every aspect of our college and drives our collective efforts to continually improve in all that we do.

Maribyrnong College delivers programs that produce outstanding outcomes for students in both academic and sporting endeavours. The College provides a broad VCE curriculum, including the Vocational Major, and the majority of students undertake further study after Year 12. A High Achievers program operates at Years 7-9, with extension opportunities available to all students. Year 10 students can access a range of VCE subjects. A rich extracurricular program includes instrumental music and drama, debating, a school production and a strong interschool sports program. The College has an active Student Leadership Program at all year levels.

The college has recently been funded in the state budget for a $14.3 million upgrade of its Performing Arts and Food Technology precinct. Current college facilities also include a 7000 square metre Sports Stadium with an elite training centre, and synthetic hockey, soccer and tennis facilities. The sport complex forms the base for the Maribyrnong Sports Academy program and all students at the College use this facility for Health and PE classes.
