Founded in 1973, the college serves students in Years 7 through 12 and is funded by state government allocations rather than tuition fees, with enrolment open to students within the designated local catchment.

The college delivers a comprehensive curriculum spanning core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities), Technologies, Health and Physical Education, The Arts, and Languages (Chinese and German). It offers both VCE and VCE Vocational Major pathways, alongside Vocational Education and Training (VET), and supports post-school planning through Morrisby career profiling, university and TAFE Pathways Days (Deakin University, Box Hill TAFE), and VTAC support.

The school's go-to-market is non-commercial: it relies on the government enrolment framework, supplemented by an annual Open Night attracting 500+ visitors, guided school tours, a school website (mooroolbarkcollege.vic.edu.au), recurring digital newsletters via the smartNews platform, and the Compass parent portal for ongoing family engagement. Its student support infrastructure includes a Peer Support Program, counselling and wellbeing services, a Breakfast Club, a four-house system (Baan, Biik, Darrang, Ngawan), Student Leadership Council, and active parent governance through the Mooroolbark College Parents' Association (MCPA) and College Council.
