First Aid and Administration Support in Melbourne

Albert Park College opened in 2011 with a year 7 enrolment capped at 150 students and has been developed as a Year 7-12 college. The College is multi-campus and located in a prized inner city location. Incorporating recycled materials, indigenous flora, and natural light and ventilation, our buildings and grounds reflect our community's belief in environmental sustainability. The new buildings feature a 21st century learning environment with open plan classrooms. All staff will be expected to teach in teams in the open plan environment. As a designated Apple Mac school, all staff will be expected to be familiar with the use of Apple computers/devices as an integral part of their teaching and learning.

The school offers two streams: general co-educational entry, and a Select Entry Accelerated Learning program that offers places to up to 50 students based on an entrance test and interview. There are three key themes driving the culture of the new college - a celebration of arts and culture, scientific and mathematical exploration, and the development of outstanding leadership capabilities. The school also offers an Accelerated Arts program and is developing an excellent music program with a stage band, concert band, and ensembles.
