Ballarat Clarendon College, Yuulong Campus - different by design

Our Yuulong Campus is different by design. Situated on a hilltop overlooking the Southern Ocean on the Great Ocean Road, Yuulong presents a unique opportunity to work with students as they develop their identity and their ability to manage themselves at both a practical and emotional level.

At Yuulong, life and learning focuses on identity, self-management and relationships. Development happens through every interaction and the most challenging experiences are where the greatest progress can occur.

Our students participate in a wide variety of activities centred on building and maintaining sustainable communities, fostering connections and the development of lifelong health and wellbeing habits. Staff participate alongside our students as they learn to cook, hike, camp, surf and snorkel.

The Yuulong program for our Year 9 students is designed to build confidence, develop outdoor skills and support their transition into adult life.

As Head of Campus, you will lead and actively participate in delivering the program. This includes leading multi-day hikes, coastal immersion experiences, managing rosters and overseeing staff performance

Ballarat Clarendon College

At Ballarat Clarendon College, we believe all students deserve the best curriculum we can offer—one grounded in research and explicitly taught. This belief drives our approach to collaborative planning and the development of a high-quality curriculum that enhances learning for both students and staff.

Our approach may differ from other schools that pursue excellence in their own ways, but this is what we do.

We are about learning. That may sound obvious for a school, but at Clarendon, every interaction, every game, every performance, every calculation, and every paragraph is a learning opportunity. We value teacher learning as much as student learning.

And who wouldn't want to be part of that? Who wouldn't want to keep getting better?

Clarendon is not like other schools. Deliberately so. We are bold, intentional and purposefully different.
