Eltham College is an independent, non-denominational, co-educational day school situated in Research, an outer suburb north east of Melbourne.
Founded in 1973, the school has a non-selective admissions policy and currently caters for approximately 1,200 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Although no longer a part, having become an affiliate of the EISM (Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne), Eltham College is a founding member of the ACS (Association of Co-educational Schools). The College is also affiliated with the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV).
The school is also associated with EC Waves swimming club and training most training is held at the Eltham College pool.
The College currently comprises two campuses:
The College’s main campus, located in Research, focuses on Kindergarten to Year 12, with only a small portion of Year 9 completed there. The Research campus houses the College's sporting facilities, environmental reserve and restaurant, known as Swiper's Gully.
The College's Year 9 campus is located in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, and caters solely for Year 9 students and their preparation for life in the city should their career path be based there. Students spend four of the five school days at the city campus, with the fifth day attended at the Research campus.
Eltham College is known for being one of the few schools with its own restaurant across the road, better known as "Swiper's Gully". This restaurant is predominantly student run, functioning during most days as a café, and most nights as a restaurant. Employees can either work in the kitchen, making the meals (back of house), or can serve the meals (front of house) as part of their VET in the VCE qualification for hospitality. The menu changes termly and features an entreé, main and dessert, with a variety of wines produced on site and produce also available.
