Overnewton Anglican Community College

What Overnewton Anglican Community College does

Overnewton Anglican Community College is an independent, co-educational Anglican school serving students from Prep through Year 12 across two campuses in Melbourne's north-west—Yirramboi Campus at Keilor (Middle and Senior Schools) and Canowindra Campus at Taylors Lakes (Junior School and Year 9 Centre), together spanning 31 hectares. Founded in 1989, the school operates four sub-schools (Junior Prep-4, Middle 5-8, Year 9 Centre, Senior 10-12) grounded in an Anglican ethos and four explicit College Values: Community, Excellence, Learning, and Respect. Academic delivery follows VCE and VCE Vocational Major pathways under John Hattie's Visible Learning framework, with technology-enabled learning through College-provided iPads (Prep-Year 2), BYOD iPads (Years 3-6), and college-leased MacBooks (Years 7-12).

The school's product surface extends well beyond core academics. Integrated digital platforms include the Compass Parent Portal (web and iOS/Android) for real-time attendance, homework, assessment, and reporting; BusMinder for live tracking of its 15-route chartered bus network; and Rosterfy for volunteer management. Co-curricular programmes are structured as branded pillars: Activate (sport, including an exclusive Melbourne Victory FC partnership and a national-champion Cheer Sport programme), Encore (performing arts with AMEB/ANZCA music examinations and multiple productions), Be Heard (debating and public speaking), Getaways (international and domestic educational travel), and Synergy (community service, sustainability, and Indigenous cultural exchange via a sister-school partnership with Shepherdson College at Galiwin'ku, NT). Ancillary services include academic scholarships for Year 5/7/9 entry assessed by ACER, Before and After School Care through Big Childcare, and uniform and resource supply via Noone Imagewear, Uniform Group, and Campion Education.

Revenue is generated predominantly through tuition fees, billed annually on a subscription basis and reviewed yearly, with tiered pricing by year level and additional charges beyond base tuition. Specific fee amounts and total revenue are not publicly disclosed. Distribution runs through direct family enrolment via school tours, a downloadable 2026 Fee Schedule, and the Registrar's office, supported by the school's website, social media, and community referral channels. The college is privately governed by an internal school board under Principal Emily FitzSimons, with no parent company, no external investment, and no public listing.
