Collingwood is a diverse inner-city suburb and the College community reflects its environs.

Many students and their families also come from suburbs further afield to take advantage of the school's programs.

The College Community is a warm and welcoming one that works hard to provide a positive and inclusive environment for students, staff and parents.

The school is almost as busy on weekends as it is during the week, as College facilities can be hired.

Gyms are used by local sporting clubs and the teaching facilities by the Victorian School of Languages.

Local schools and other community groups often use the theatre and other facilities.
