History

Ormiston College opened in 1988 on the original 6.5 16 acres (65,000 m2) site on which the Junior School now stands, with 162 students in six classrooms. Ormiston College Limited, a non-profit, public company, was formed to develop the school and the Board of Directors was established to assist in the administration of the College. Over time, additional land was purchased and facilities were built. The school expanded to include a Senior School (starting from year 8) in 1991, Pre-school (Prep) in 2000 and the Early Learning Centre (Childcare Centre) in 2007.[2]

Curriculum

The Junior School curriculum establishes academic foundations and cultural knowledge, as well including sporting programs.

Within the Senior School, core subjects are compulsory in years 8 and 9, and Foundation Studies begin in year 10. Starting from year 9, students are able to choose some electives.

Ormiston College is a member of the TAS (The Associated Schools) sporting program and the Bayside District and Metropolitan East Region sporting associations.

Pastoral Care

Ormiston College provides permanent, on-campus pastoral support and guidance for students and their parents. Each teacher is supported in providing pastoral care by a Student Support Services Team comprising two counselors, Year Level Coordinators, the Dean of Students, and the College Chaplain.

Facilities

Ormiston College has a range of quality student facilities, including the Lingo Lin Performing Arts Theatre (including a theater, drama studio, and music rooms), the Somerset Sports Centre and the Marsson Aquatic Centre, a science centre (including physics, biology, and chemistry laboratories), nine computer laboratories, and a Library Resource Centre.[3]
