  • specialist learning areas for music and drama
  • specialist learning areas for food technology

Enrolments for 2026 are open

Kolorer College is a supported inclusion school. Supported inclusion schools are local government schools with some extra accessibility features. These features help them teach and support more students with a disability.

In its first year of operation, Kolorer College will open to Year 7 students only. An additional year level will be added each following year. The 2026 school zones are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au.

For enrolment enquiries, please continue to email cobblebank.ss@education.vic.gov.au until the new school email is assigned.

Your new school name

The school was known by its interim name, Cobblebank Secondary School, during planning and design. Kolorer College was chosen as this new school’s name following community and Traditional Owner group consultation. Kolorer (pronounced koo-lorr) is a Wurundjeri Woi wurrung language word meaning lava flow.
