The College was founded in 1980 and consists of a core of well-maintained brick buildings, with additional portable buildings, in an attractive garden setting spread throughout the spacious grounds with panoramic views of the Dandenong Ranges. The College has extensive facilities including: a theatre; a university style 100+ seated cafeteria; a double court state of the art basketball stadium; undercover double soccer/netball courts; brand new dance and drama studios; a senior centre; a library; new and refurbished buildings that incorporate flexible open learning spaces as well as landscaped courtyards.
Wantirna College draws students from both local and surrounding primary schools. Demand for places at the College has been consistently strong and as part of the enrolment strategy there is a Department of Education and Training approved enrolment ceiling of 1500 students. Most of our students walk to school, are transported by their parents or use local buses.
The school family occupations index (SFO) is 0.31 and has remained fairly consistent over the last four years. The Language Background Other than English (LBOTE) proportion is 0.13 and again has been consistent over a large number of years. The College also has an international student program. This program takes approximately 40 overseas fee-paying students largely from China and Vietnam.

This support covers Administration, Library, Science, Inclusion, Wellbeing, Learning Support, Quicksmart, Food Studies, Facilities, Gardening, School Nurses and ICT.
We operate two sub schools, the Middle Years 7-9 and Senior Schools 10-12, however in 2027 we will be moving to three sub schools ¿ Junior (yr 7/8), Middle (yr 9/10) and Senior (yr 11/12). Each sub school has its own administration, overseen by an Assistant Principal and Leading Teachers of each year level. We have high expectations of learning, behaviour, wellbeing and attendance which is underpinned by our school wide positive behaviours framework and a calm and productive learning environment.
Students in Year 7 and 8 experience a core curriculum based around eight learning areas, including Chinese as our LOTE subject. In Year 9 and 10 students have a vertical blocking structure with students in mixed 9/10 classes having over 60 subjects to choose from. Early start VCE is accessible for Year 10 students who are achieving well. In Year 11 and 12 we offer a wide range of VCE units including two Vocational Major Pathways and VET.
