Principal’s Welcome

On this site you will find detailed information about our educational programs, students’ support services and co-curricular activities.

Keilor Downs College is a vibrant secondary college, offering a rich array of opportunities and choices for our students.

We foster meaningful relationships between teachers, students, and their peers. We are known for providing a safe, calm and orderly environment, conducive to high quality teaching and learning.

The College has a very strong record of achievement at VCE and provides a particularly broad range of VCE subjects.  There is also a strong, vibrant VCE Vocational Major program which has extremely positive outcomes for applied and vocational learners.

An emphasis of the college is its strong student support structure, with each individual student being known and supported academically and personally through our House structure.  Student Leadership is also a strong element of the College, with an extremely active student leadership group working across many areas.

Since 2002, we have delivered a highly regarded SEAL program (Select Entry & Accelerated Learning Program), which delivers excellent outcomes for our gifted students. The College also operates a successful International Students Program (ISP).

Study skills, mentoring and enrichment programs and ongoing relationships with Universities and TAFE colleges, help students build confidence and achieve their aspirations.

Our goal is to provide every student with the individual support they need to achieve their full potential, and ensure students feel a strong sense of belonging to our school.

Parents can be assured that their child will be guided throughout their secondary school years by professional, committed and caring teachers.
