Our focus on character and service ensures when students graduate they are well-rounded members of society, with a deep appreciation of the quality of selflessness and the importance of serving others.

Co-curricular
At Edinburgh College, our students enjoy a wide range of opportunities to develop specific skills, sportsmanship and camaraderie. From Year 5, our students participate in camps and various other off-campus opportunities designed to develop character and a willingness to serve the community. As part of our school’s strong focus on serving others, Year 11 students have the opportunity to volunteer on community projects in Vanuatu, while other year levels take part in projects which benefit our own local community.
Our comprehensive music program gives students the opportunity to learn a string instrument, wind instrument, piano or percussion in private tuition. We run several school bands and ensembles which give our young musicians the chance to perform together throughout the year, including at our annual school gala.
