Confidence
for the future

Established in 1871, The Hamilton and Alexandra College is a leading regional school offering ELC to Year 12 education across dedicated Junior and Senior campuses.

We are a welcoming, close-knit community - large enough to offer diverse opportunities, yet small enough to ensure every student is known and supported.

Grounded in strong community values, we provide clear pathways and guidance to university, trades, and the workforce, helping every student thrive.

About The Hamilton and Alexandra College

“At their best, schools are wonderful places — ambitious, joyful, and rich with possibility.”

A co-educational day and boarding school from ELC to Year 12, The Hamilton and Alexandra College is set across dedicated Junior and Senior campuses with modern facilities. Our campuses are expansive enough for exploring and play, while remaining small enough for each student to feel part of the whole.

College History

A Tradition Since 1871

Founded in 1871, and shaped by the later union of Hamilton and Western District Boys’ College with Alexandra College, the College’s heritage runs deep, pairing historic roots with a forward-looking education.
