What Hellyer College does

Hellyer College is a Tasmanian government secondary college located at 41-43 Mooreville Road, Burnie, providing Years 11-12 education to students aged 16-19 across the northwest coast of Tasmania, including rural and isolated areas such as King Island, Circular Head and the West Coast. The college is operated by the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) and accredited as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO Code: 60100), enabling it to deliver both academic and vocational qualifications. It offers over 90 TASC-accredited subjects across learning areas such as English, Mathematics, Sciences, Humanities, Creative Arts, Health and PE, Languages, and Technologies, leading to the Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE) and ATAR, alongside Vocational Education and Training pathways and the University of Tasmania's University Connections and High Achievers programs delivered on-site and at UTAS Cradle Coast Campus.

The college runs on standard education technology: Canvas LMS for course delivery, Microsoft 365 for productivity, Windows 11 endpoints, and a Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) program running on the DoE_Student wireless network with WPA2 Enterprise authentication. Specialist facilities include a fully equipped hair salon (Hellyer Salon), a public training restaurant (Greenhouse Restaurant), industrial kitchen, photography and art suites, a performance studio, and technology and design workshops. The on-site Hellyer Student Residence hosts students from rural and isolated areas, and student support includes a psychologist, youth worker, social worker, nurse, chaplain and careers advisor. The Hellyer Regional Collective extends curriculum access across multiple partner campuses.

Hellyer College is funded by the Tasmanian state government through DECYP and delivers its services at no direct cost to students; it is therefore a non-commercial entity rather than a revenue-generating business. Its go-to-market is community- and event-driven: prospective students are reached through Taster Days (e.g., 19 June 2026), Year 10 coordinator handoffs from feeder schools, newsletters, Facebook and Instagram channels, the college website, and direct contact for non-government or out-of-area enrolments. Governance is exercised through the School Association comprising parents, staff and student representatives. Leadership comprises Principal Shane Cleaver and Assistant Principals Marion Ferguson, Michelle Summers and Craig White. Headcount of 24 staff is recorded in the firmographic data but appears to reflect leadership/administrative staff rather than total workforce.
