Canberra College

The Canberra College (formerly known as the Phillip College) is an Australian Capital Territory public school, which educates students from year 11 to year 12. In 2022, Simon Vaughan was appointed Principal, taking over from Michael Battenally.

The school was founded in 1976 under the name of Phillip College after secondary schools were in demand while a working party recommended the establishment of autonomous education. A Commonwealth Teaching Service was approved in September 1970 to provide teachers in Canberran schools. The name of the school was changed and reopened under the name of the Canberra College in 1997 after the Stirling College in Stirling amalgamated with the Phillip College. It was officially opened on 19 March 1997 by the Minister for Education and Training, Bill Stefaniak.

The Canberra College offered the International Baccalaureate diploma in its curriculum until 2017 when it was discontinued for the following year. The college was an IB World School from March 2008.
