ELTHAM College was conceived in 1973 as a new concept in independent, co-educational schooling. Founded by Les Clarke, a founding Partner of ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects, the establishment of the College was further driven by a dynamic group of educators and community members who were seeking schooling for their own children. Schooling that would step beyond mainstream educational practice. Evolving from a bold idea, ELTHAM was to become a beacon of innovative education – education that fostered the talents, confidence, initiative and passion for learning in every individual. This marked the beginning of our rich college history as a pioneer in innovative educational practices.
The notion of ELTHAM as one of Australia’s few truly independent schools was envisioned within the creative culture of Nillumbik Shire, northeast of Melbourne. Historically, this district has long been a centre for free thinking and innovation. For years, artists, writers and intellectuals have been drawn to Nillumbik for inspiration. It’s no accident that ELTHAM’s founders steered their vision for the future here, creating an environment that fosters both academic excellence and personal growth, with a strong sense of environmental awareness and community spirit. College history reveals that ELTHAM's founding reflects a unique blend of educational philosophy and community engagement.
In the inaugural year of its founding, ELTHAM College established the school’s pastoral care emphasis, creating a solid foundation for the holistic wellbeing of every child. Referred to as the ‘Educational Triangle’ - the concept underscored the synergy between student, home, and school - forming the basis of our nurturing and supportive community environment. This aspect of college history highlights the early commitment to student welfare and community integration.
