Gilmore College

What Gilmore College does

Gilmore College is a public secondary school operated by the Western Australian Department of Education, serving students from Year 7 to Year 12 in the Orelia/Kwinana region of Western Australia. The school delivers academic pathways (ATAR for university entrance), vocational training (VET), and a general pathway, supplemented by specialized programs in volleyball, robotics, and instrumental music. It also runs Aboriginal education initiatives through partnerships with Follow the Dream, Clontarf Academy, and Stars Foundation, plus Maori & Pacific Islander student support.

The school's core "platform" is its instructional and pastoral model. Most recently it introduced the Gilmore GRITT Instructional Model (Greet, Review, Intentions, Teacher Input, Tie it Together) in Term 4 2025 as its branded evidence-based teaching framework. Administrative and parent-facing infrastructure runs on the Compass education management platform, which handles attendance monitoring, timetables, calendars, parent communications, and excursion payments. No proprietary AI or technology products are evidenced; the robotics program is a student-facing STEM curriculum, not an internal technology asset.

As a government entity, Gilmore College is funded primarily through state appropriations under the WA Department of Education, supplemented by parent contributions and charges and external scholarships (Bendigo Bank, ALCOA Old Flames, Rotary/Valk, LYRiK). There is no commercial revenue model, no private ownership, and no venture or capital-raising activity. Distribution is via direct enrollment from the designated intake area, with a Year 6 transition pipeline from feeder primary schools, college tours, and community information events. The school employs approximately 36 staff.
