IN THE HEART OF MOUNT BARKER – EDUCATING OUR YOUNG LEADERS
Mount Barker Community College Kindergarten to Year 12
Mount Barker Community College has a long tradition of student success and excellent partnerships with our community to provide wonderful opportunities for students to develop into happy, considerate and valued members of our community.
Whatever skills and values your child brings, we work hard with you to improve and develop them, our staff work together with you and your child to develop the colleges expected behaviors; of Being Your Best, Being Responsible, Being Respectful and Being Resilient.
The most important ingredient for learning success is a strong partnership between the child, parents and staff. We support this partnership through regular meetings, newsletters and a range of other communication strategies including our Facebook page
I extend a warm welcome to parents and community members to come to college to visit or be involved. I hope to see you at assemblies and special functions during the year. I strongly encourage you to join in P&C meetings which focus on improving education, fundraising and helping each other to better support children’s learning.
Thank you for being a part of our college community.

PROGRAMS
At Mount Barker Community College, we encourage our students to challenge themselves across areas of learning, to extend themselves to achieve their personal best and excel in areas of interest.
STAY UP TO DATE
We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which our students live and are educated throughout Western Australia.
We acknowledge and understand that Elders, parents, families and communities are the first educators of their children and we recognise and value the cultures and strengths that Aboriginal children bring to the classroom. Aboriginal people have a long tradition of teaching and learning through sharing their connections with country, community, language and culture, and through their oral histories, stories and lived experiences that are passed from generation to generation. We recognise and value the learning that Aboriginal children bring with them from their homes and communities into the classroom.
