On behalf of the staff and leadership team, it is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to Copperfield College.
Choosing the right secondary school for your child is a significant decision. Copperfield College offers a unique 7–12 multi-campus experience, where students benefit from the resources of a large school while enjoying the supportive, personalised environment of smaller campuses:
- Kings Park Junior Campus (Years 7–10)
- Sydenham Junior Campus (Years 7–10)
- Delahey Senior Campus (Years 11–12)
Our junior campuses provide a rich Middle Years program, supporting both academic growth and student wellbeing. At the Senior Campus, students are treated as young adults and provided with extensive opportunities across VCE, VCE VM, VET, and workplace programs, ensuring that every student progresses towards a meaningful destination, whether university, TAFE, apprenticeships, or sustainable employment.
Our mission is clear: Empowering Every Student to Aspire and Achieve. The emphasis on “every” reflects our belief that every child can learn, every child can progress, and, together with our dedicated staff, we will make this happen. Guided by our mantra, “No Student Goes Without”, we ensure that all students can succeed, irrespective of background, postcode, or circumstance.
Operating across three campuses allows us to combine the strengths of a large school with the personalised support of smaller learning communities. Our focus on individual growth, academic excellence, and student wellbeing fosters a nurturing environment where students feel safe, respected, and empowered to take ownership of their learning and future pathways.
Students at Copperfield College have countless opportunities to excel, academically, in sport, in the arts, through leadership programs, public speaking, debating, environmental initiatives, and our extensive instrumental music and extracurricular programs. Many also have the chance to showcase their talents in the local, national, and global community.
Copperfield College is a diverse and inclusive community that celebrates achievement and embraces innovative pedagogy. Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework ensures a safe and positive learning culture, maximising individual academic and social growth.
Our three campuses offer tailored environments for each stage of schooling. The junior campuses focus on smooth transitions, habit formation, and character development, while the Senior Campus offers one of the state’s widest selections of VCE, VCE VM, and VET subjects, supported by a comprehensive Careers and Pathways program, empowering students to shape their own bright futures.
We hold high expectations for students, staff, and parents alike. Our School Values of Respect, Responsibility, Relationships and Excellence underpin everything we do, from learning and extracurricular participation to the conduct expected across our campuses. Every student benefits from dedicated staff committed to ensuring they are safe, happy, and successful.
I am proud to lead Copperfield College, a school with a rich history, outstanding achievements, and an inspiring vision for the future. I warmly invite you to visit one or all three campuses to experience firsthand our exceptional teaching, learning, and facilities. I look forward to welcoming you into our community.
