Farm My School Colac
Who is Farm My School?
Farm My School is a not-for-profit organisation that transforms underutilised school grounds into thriving regenerative farms that nourish, educate and connect communities.
These living classrooms grow food, teach sustainability, and reconnect communities to soil.
Our first school farm began at Bellarine Secondary College. Now, Colac joins the movement – proof that this model can be replicated across Victoria and beyond.
Why Colac?
Colac is known for its strong community, farming heritage, and passion for education. By creating a second farm at Colac Secondary College, we’re showing how food, health, and learning can grow side by side.
What is the plan at Colac?
In partnership with VicHealth, Colac Secondary College, Colac Otway Shire, and Colac Area Health, we will:
- Transform underutilised land into a productive school farm.
- Initial build of 2.1 linear kilometres of garden beds, composting areas, and outdoor learning spaces.
- Long term goal of 3.4 linear kilometres
- Create a hub where students, teachers, and the wider community can connect with food, farming and each other.
What is the timeline?
24hrs Build a Farm in a Day, Colac
The first stage was the build that occurred across 24 hours on Saturday 22nd to Sunday 23rd November, 2025
Over 24 hours, students, teachers, volunteers, and community members will came together to build the farm.
The second stage is the nursery and polytunnel to be added to the farm in late 2026.
