Mount Gambier Technical College: Shaping the Future of Technical Education in South Australia
Mount Gambier Technical College will be a visionary institution that aims to revolutionise technical education in South Australia.
The State Government is investing in Technical Colleges that will set the standard for excellence in their design, learning environment and delivery of skills-based training for school-enrolled students.
Located in the Education, Training and Research precinct on Wireless Road, set to open in 2026, Mount Gambier Technical College will provide students with access to industry training on a part-time basis while staying enrolled in their home school.
It will support not only public students from across the Limestone Coast Region, but will be open to students from the private school sector.
Mount Gambier Technical College will have short stay accommodation facilities on site and offer four industry training programs for careers in Agri-tech (for careers in manufacturing, agriculture and horticulture), Early Childhood and Education, Health and Social Support, and Multi-trades (for careers in engineering, plumbing, construction and electrical).
