Calamvale Community College is a co-educational, independent state school established in 2002 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
The college is organised into two sub-schools each with its own principal and staff. The College Principal provides the over–arching leadership for the college. Each sub-school caters for a select range of grades; the junior campus caters for prep to year 6, and the secondary campus caters for years 7 to 12.
The college boasts two sub-campuses which coincide with the two sub-schools. The two sub-campuses are situated adjacent to one another; with the junior campus encompassing the southern end of the main campus, while the secondary campus embodies the north.
Each sub-campus offers a variety of amenities, including both shared resources and those specific to either sub-school. Examples of shared facilities include: The Oval, Library, Basketball courts, and a hall. Both campuses possess Tuck shops (also known as canteens) as well as two large undercover areas.
The College opened in 2002 with 1150 students ranging from preschool to Year 8. Later in 2003, Year 9 was implemented and the enrolment grew to 1540. In 2006, Calamvale Community College offered preschool to Year 12 with an estimated final enrolment of around 2200.
The school's campus has existed long before 2002, with the previous institution, Calamvale State School, being present on the campus prior to the establishment of the college.[4][5] The secondary school sub-campus was developed at a far later time than junior school's, which had already been well-established through Calamvale State School.
Calamvale State School was a state primary school that existed from its foundation on May 11th, 1955, through to December 31st, 2001. Just one day later on January 1st, 2002, it became Calamvale Community College, coinciding with the addition of a secondary school component.[4][5]
