Altona P to 9 College is a new, exciting school with a proud history of both primary and secondary education in our community. We have state-of-the-art facilities linked explicitly to the stages of learning. Our school is organised into three distinct, yet connected learning communities: P to 4, 5 to 8 and Year 9 Leaders. Our school holds students at the centre of everything we do. We view our fundamental purpose as enabling each and every student to reach his/her full potential. We know our students as individuals and we believe that relationships are critical to achieving effective learning outcomes for students. We believe that improvement in student learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy is the foundation for access to future pathways. It is this belief which helps define our goals and planning for the future. At Altona P to 9 College the values of being respectful, being a learner and being caring underpin all that we say and do. Our school is part of a network of 18 schools in the City of Hobsons Bay that are working together towards improved learning outcomes as part of the Western Metropolitan Region's commitment to the Blueprint for Education and Early Childhood Development.
