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. It has two campuses, one in the Woden Valley, which is near the Woden Town Centre and one in Stirling, situated in Weston Creek. As of 2014, the principal is George Palavestra, who was previously the principal of Melrose High School. Its postcode is 2606. The school was founded in 1976 under the name of the Phillip College after secondary schools were in demand while a working party recommended the establishment of an autonomous education.〔 A Commonwealth Teaching Service was approved in September 1970 to provide teachers in Canberran schools.〔NAA: A5869, 535, September 1970.〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/archivesact/3857157951/ )〕 The Canberra College offers and supports the International Baccalaureate in their curriculum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.canberrac.act.edu.au/information2/programs/international_baccalaureate )〕 The college has been an IB World School since March 2008. ==History== Community interest in Territory education was rising in the 1960s, especially with the increase of student admissions in the ACT. In 1966 a working party led by George Currie was convened, which they presented a report in November 1967 recommending establishment of an autonomous education authority responsible for all government schools in the Australian Capital Territory.〔Report on an Independent Education Authority for the Australian Capital Territory, Canberra, 1967.〕 At the same time, an independent education system was being thought of and considered, and the Department of Education and Sciences began canvassing secondary colleges to serve year 11 and year 12 students.〔 In November 1971, Malcolm Fraser established a working party to review the proposal. Fraser and his working party supported the presented report in 1972.〔Secondary Education for Canberra: Report by the Working Committee on College Proposals for the Australian Capital Territory', 20 December 1972, Parliamentary Papers, 1973, volume 3, paper 15.〕 In that same year, a Commonwealth Teaching Service for the ACT was established in April 1972, but was first approved in September 1970.〔 The first secondary schools were in Phillip, Hawker and Melba.〔 The Canberra College was established in 1976, but was originally known as Phillip College. Stirling College opened in 1977. In 1984, multiple students at Stirling College participated in a study by the Australian Institute of Criminology, concerning to understand and apply standard jury instructions there were being developed for possible use for criminal courts in New South Wales. Stirling College was amalgamated with Phillip College in 1997 under one entity, which is now known as the Canberra College. The former Stirling College now serves as the Weston Campus. George Palavestra was appointed as principal in 2014, and replaced John Stenhouse. The college has 955 students enrolled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bettereducation.com.au/PublicSchoolView0.aspx?Name=The%20Canberra%20College%20Woden%20Campus,2606 )〕 In 2007, 107 students were awarded a vocational certificate and 228 students were vocational statement of attainment, as well as a UAI of 75%.
