ACG Strathallan is an independent co-educational facility and is part of the Academic Colleges Group. Modern architecture, combined with a spacious natural setting on the Hingaia Peninsula, make the campus a unique and stimulating place. Its position close to the motorway also provides an ideal location.

The campus opened in February 2001 and was developed to provide a continuous educational path for those who place pride in achievement. Its facility provides education through the ACG Strathallan Preschool Centre (for children aged three months to five years), ACG Strathallan School for Years 1 to 6 and ACG Strathallan College for Years 7 to 13.

ACG Strathallan Preschool (children aged 3 months to 5 years)

ACG Strathallan Preschool helps children acquire a variety of important skills, knowledge and attitudes that will affect their ability to learn, their personal development, their relationships and their future achievement.

ACG Strathallan Preschool Centre encourages children to see learning as both enjoyable and useful, and it provides a strong foundation for future intellectual, social and physical development. There is a strong emphasis on oral language development and opportunities for thinking, problem solving and experimenting. The Centre offers a modern, stimulating and safe place to learning through well-equipped classrooms, pleasant outdoor areas and the creation of a lively and interesting environment.

ACG Strathallan School (Years 1 to 6)

The primary school has specialist teachers in art, music and physical education, providing students with the opportunity to experience these skills to a much higher level, much earlier in their development.

ACG Strathallan School provides an excellent base for future development. It is a productive environment where the teamwork between teachers and students develops a positive work ethic and a love of learning. Individual attention is maximised in each classroom.

ACG Strathallan College (Years 7 to 13)

Programmes are designed to challenge and to stimulate good learning and preparation for living and working in the 21st century. Effective use of technology is integrated into educational programmes at all levels.

There is a focus on the individual and the educational achievement and progress of each student. A key component of this is the development of individual academic goals under the guidance of a teacher/mentor. The young women and men who attend ACG Strathallan College are rewarded with exceptional opportunities to maximise their potential and become innovative and creative. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting and cultural activities.
