Our Story
At Overnewton Anglican Community College we are dedicated to exceeding expectations for our students, their families, our staff, and the wider community.
Our foundation as an Independent school is grounded in Christian values, guided by an Anglican ethos. We believe that diversity enriches our community, strengthens our collective capacity, and fosters citizenship in our young people. We are inclusive and respectful of all faiths and cultures, welcoming everyone.
We pride ourselves on offering contemporary programs and approaches to teaching in a nurturing environment, ensuring that every student receives a broad and rigorous education, both in and beyond the classroom.
Recognising the individuality of each person, we focus not only on academic outcomes, but on the development of character. We are driven to help our students reach their full potential. This facilitates lifelong learning and personal development, fostering a sense of purpose and meaning.
We value connection - to one another, our environment and the broader community. We cultivate a culture of belonging and respect, underpinned by our belief that people matter.
Our commitment to excellence and leadership is unwavering, embracing a forward-thinking outlook and driving organisational best practice.
We prepare our students for futures in a complex and dynamic global society. Our ultimate goal is to ignite passion within each student, inspiring them to serve their communities and make a positive impact, leading lives of value with heart and integrity.
Overnewton. Over & Above.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
