Cornish College’s student numbers have now grown to 702.  In the first school week for 2017, the College welcomed a record number of ELC to Year 12 students, five years after opening in 2012 as a new co-educational independent school with 220 students.

Despite its fast growth, Cornish College is still a medium-size co-educational school where students are known and learning is personalised and engaging.  Located on 40ha (100 acres) of natural parkland, students enjoy learning, playing and exploring the extensive grounds.
A unique part of the Cornish College campus is the Cornish Links nine-hole golf course. More than 100 boys and girls from the ages of three to 17 participate in the golf program, which is led by a passionate team of coaches, including certified PGA golf professional Sean Kirschenberg, golf professional Nadina Light, and Cornish College’s chaplain, Jarrod Davies.

Cornish College is also preparing to celebrate its five-year Foundation Day on February 16. Principal Vicki Steer said Foundation Day will be a chance for everyone who has been involved in the College’s growth to celebrate.

“Our school thrives today because of our community’s belief in our educational philosophy of preparing students for life. We recognise the importance of academic rigour, creativity and developing strong foundation skills for learning,” said Ms Steer.

Cornish College’s motto is Make a Difference and at its core is the development of independence, compassion and personal excellence in order for students to make a positive contribution within their local community and globally.

With extensive private bus services, Cornish College students come from a wide range of Bayside and Peninsula regions, including Beaumaris, Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Aspendale, Patterson Lakes, Dingley, Sandhurst, Frankston, Frankston South and Mount Eliza.
