You’re So Welcome Here, Exactly As You Are

Has school been feeling stressful, overwhelming, or just not for you? Maybe your teen has been feeling disconnected from learning, struggling to keep up in a large classroom, or anxious about attending. If this sounds familiar, ECG Secondary College wants to help.

At ECG, we focus on each student as a person, not just a learner. Our T.H.R.I.V.E. program provides a therapeutic, holistic, and vocationally-focused environment where students can:

Learn Your Way with personalised programs that suit their interests and goals

Build Confidence & Resilience in a supportive setting

Gain Practical Life Skills for everyday life and future work

Develop Positive Relationships with staff and peers who genuinely care

Hands-on, practical life skills programs are part of a broader approach to education that values wellbeing, connection, and engagement as the foundation for personal growth and long-term success. ECG is proud to support initiatives that empower students to find strength not just in their bodies, but in their character, mindset, and relationships.

ECG offers programs for Years 9-12, including the VCE Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate, as well as project-based learning and applied learning opportunities designed to help students re-engage with school and prepare for further education or future careers.

If you’re looking for a school that understands your teen and helps them thrive, visit ecg.vic.edu.au/enrol-with-us/ or call 03 5622 6000.
