​​Welcome to the official website of Western Cape College (WCC). We're delighted to have you here, and our website is carefully crafted to provide parents and our community with an interactive and comprehensive overview of the College's operations. Our primary goal is to create the best possible learning environment for all our students. Additionally, this platform serves as a vital space to celebrate the outstanding achievements of both our students and staff.

WCC is a state educational institution that caters to young individuals between the ages of 4 and 18. We are committed to being the preferred choice for quality education in the Western Cape communities of Napranum, Weipa, and Mapoon. Moreover, we have the privilege of accommodating students from diverse Indigenous communities across Cape York and the Torres Strait through our Residential Campus. Our remote location is not seen by us as a disadvantage; rather, it's a unique opportunity that we embrace and take pride in.

WCC is driven by a deep belief that every student is capable of successful learning. A high priority is given to building and maintaining positive and caring relationships between staff, students and parents. There is a strong collegial culture of mutual trust and support among teachers and school leaders and, parents are treated as partners in the promotion of student learning and wellbeing. The school works to maintain a learning environment that is safe, respectful, tolerant, inclusive and that promotes intellectual rigour. We have strong ties with local businesses and universities, as well as valuable community partnerships, which allow our students to explore a wide array of opportunities and pathways that bridge the gap between education and the real world.
