Tour of the College

Debney Park SC is located in a residential area with wide tree-lined streets. The college is easily accessed by public transport and is only a few hundred metres from the Gateway to Melbourne on Citylink. Students come from all parts of Melbourne and use both the tram service in Mt. Alexander Road and the train from either Newmarket or Flemington Bridge stations.

The 1996 Building is characterised by wide, naturally lit internal walkways which link the various sections of the college. In inclement weather students can access all of their classrooms without having to go outside. The walkways contain work produced by students in Art classes

The Library is the heart of the college. It is modern, popular with students and well resourced with both books and computers. Computers are connected to the college network and provide high speed internet access.

Adjacent to the library is an audio-visual room with modern editing equipment. This room is used for Media classes at Years 9, 10 and the VCE.

Our friendly manager and her staff serve a range of hot and cold food from the canteen. Students have input into what is sold with daily specials a feature of this well equipped facility.

Although the school grounds are compact reflecting the inner city location, students enjoy the active and passive areas which are spread throughout landscaped and treed surroundings.

The college gymnasium is modern and well used by all members of the school community. It is the venue for regular level and whole school assemblies.

The college has well equipped areas for Technology. The Foods and Wood/metal rooms are new and the hardware in the computer laboratories is updated regularly. These spaces cater for a variety of teaching styles to be used.

A vibrant arts program exists in the college. Recently a mosaic wall was completed by students. Moonee Valley Council also used students at the school to design and produce flags for their community festival.

The college band is also very active. Opportunities exist for all students to learn an instrument at each year level. In 2000 a Singing and Performance Group was established to enable students to be trained in vocal techniques.
