A Busy Start to the Year 

As we step into the new school year, it's clear that the commencement of the year is always a time of activity and transition. With new students and families joining our community, senior students adjusting to the rigours of VCE and VCE VM study, and sports programs and camps getting underway, there is a lot happening! It’s a time when everyone is finding their rhythm and settling into the new school year. 

We’re excited for what this year will bring and are eager to see all of our students thrive in the months ahead. We encourage everyone to embrace this exciting start, stay connected, and support one another as we journey through the year together.

Class of 2024

The Class of 2024, like their predecessors, will be pursuing an array of exciting avenues, from vocational training to university degrees, gap years, or even entering the workforce. This variety reflects the changing landscape of education and career options, where there’s no single "right" path to success.

We are delighted that so many students in our 2024 cohort obtained their first or very high preference, for tertiary study. Our students have gained places in a wide range of courses, including Business, Arts, Engineering, Nursing, Science and many more. 

Welcome to new staff

We are thrilled to welcome new staff members to Copperfield College and to the Delahey campus community. As they join our dedicated staff, we eagerly anticipate the fresh perspectives, ideas, and energy they bring. Together, we’ll continue to foster an environment of collaboration, growth, and success.

Copperfield College’s Alumni Network: Connecting the Past and Present

Copperfield College is excited to announce the appointment of Chiara Mastrilli as the new Alumni Program Coordinator!
