The college was constructed as one of 15 government schools delivered by the Department of Education and Training (the Department) across some of Victoria’s fastest growing metropolitan and regional communities in 2017 and 2018 through the New School Public Private Partnership (PPP) Project.
Under the PPP model, Featherbrook College has been financed, designed, constructed and maintained by the private sector to high contractual standards over 25 years, allowing Principals and teachers to focus on student learning, rather than asset management. The college has been designed as a community hub and encourages community use and additional community facilities and programs through a partnership with the YMCA. The college also supports inclusion of all learners, including students with special needs through its universal design features.
