Mount Gambier Technical College is planned to open in 2026.
Located in the Education, Training and Research precinct on Wireless Road, the technical college will provide students with a head start to a career in 1 of 4 in-demand industry specialisations:
- Agri-tech (for careers in forestry, agriculture and manufacturing)
- Early Childhood and Education
- Health and Social Support
- Multi-trades (for careers as plumbers, builders, electricians)
The technical college will provide students in Years 10, 11 and 12 with access to industry training on a part-time basis while staying enrolled in their home school. It will support not only public students from across the Limestone Coast region, but will be open to students from the private school sector, with short stay accommodation to be available for about 40 students at a time.
The exact operating model for the technical college is being determined through consultation with schools, industry and the broader community in the region.
