Our School History
Lake Bolac P-12 College is situated in a rural township, 100 kilometres west of Ballarat and 55 kilometres south of Ararat in Victoria's Western District. The town boasts a 1,460 hectare freshwater lake which is ideal for boating, sailing and windsurfing as well as fishing. The town itself is dotted with historical sites. Lake Bolac has a sporting complex that features squash, tennis, bowls and an outdoor swimming pool. These activities are complemented by sports grounds used for football, cricket and netball.
A primary school was first established in the early 1860's and secondary education commenced in 1959. In 1919 a new primary facility was opened on adjacent land to the (then) high school site. In 1998 the primary and secondary schools merged to form the present P - 12 College. Currently 80 students are enrolled, with a majority being bus travellers from the surrounding district.

Lake Bolac College acknowledges the traditional owners of the land, the Djab Wurrung people. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
