The School

Belmont City College (CC) has modern facilities and is set in the heart of the City of Belmont, providing the backdrop for our many innovative programs. We pride ourselves in being able to give individualised care and attention to help each student reach their potential, developing their self-confidence, independence and the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to take advantage of increasing opportunities beyond school. 

Our focus is on providing a safe and caring learning environment that encourages students to become self-motivated, independent learners who demonstrate pride in themselves, their school, and their community. A strong pastoral care program supports the social and emotional needs of the students, whilst the diverse range of academic and vocational programs nurtures academic excellence for all students.

Belmont CC offers programs ranging from our highly successful Department of Education Approved Specialist Contemporary Drama Program to our Music Excellence program and the selective A Plus Academic Excellence Program in partnership with the University of Western Australia. Our Follow the Dream: Partnerships for Success program, Clontarf Academy and STARS engagement programs provide support for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
