Introduction

The College is set in 10 hectares of landscaped grounds in the tourist township of Bright, which is situated in the picturesque Ovens Valley, 310km north east of Melbourne. The nearest major city, Wangaratta, is 80 km to the west and Albury-Wodonga 110km to the north. Magnificent landscapes include Victoria's highest peak (Mt Bogong), the broad undulating high plains, the spectacular rock formations of nearby Mt Buffalo and fertile river valleys.

With clean air and fewer wet and overcast days than Melbourne or Sydney, the area experiences four distinct and predictable seasons each year. Snow covers the high ground during winter. Tourism is one of the major industries in the area known for its natural beauty.
