Educating for a sustainable, thriving future

When you choose Cornish College, you choose a wealth of educational experiences. From our passionate, experienced staff to the many cocurricular opportunities, Cornish offers education quite like no other. 

At Cornish, we develop the heart, the mind and the person and our unique learning environment and well-rounded education ensures our students become the best people they can be. We have a clear understanding and appreciation of our past, as we explore the possibilities of education of a different kind.

We are fortunate to share with our learning community 100 acres of natural parkland. The Kulin Nation land upon which we work, learn and play is as much a learning space as any purpose-built facility – it is our 100-acre classroom.

Our motto is ‘Make a difference, be the difference’. At the heart of this is our dedication to developing independence, compassion and personal excellence amongst our students, ensuring they have the capacity and the desire to make a difference, both locally and globally.

We embed sustainability in all teaching and cocurricular activities. We do this through our Rings of Sustainability, which underpin our curriculum and focus on natural, personal, socio-cultural and urban/technological sustainability. 

Our holistic education sees students engage deeply across disciplines, critically evaluating problems and finding creative solutions. Such skills are vital, says Principal Nicola Forrest.

"Our unique learning environment and well-rounded education ensures our students become the best people they can be. Our powerful curriculum and passionate teachers develop critical thinking skills in our students, empowering them to make a difference today for a sustainable tomorrow," Nicola says.

"I see a horizon of endless opportunities for this learning community to embrace the innovation and progressive thinking that has long been our point of difference," she says. 

Join us for our next school tour and discover how Cornish College is educating for a sustainable, thriving tomorrow.
