Wedderburn College is located in the North Central district of Victoria in the town of Wedderburn, approximately 75km north west of Bendigo on the Calder Highway.  

The College provides a Prep to Year 12 education for around 300 students. Operating as a member of the North Central Schools Cluster, which includes Boort Secondary College, Charlton College, Donald High School, McAuley College, Pyramid Hill P-10 College, St Arnaud Secondary College and Wycheproof P-12 College, the College is able to provide students with a comprehensive technological, rural and agricultural curriculum as well as a number of Vocational Education and Training units of study.  Students living in outlying districts access bus travel while town dwellers are able to walk and cycle to school.

The College is a part of the North Central Schools Network. This network comprises, in addition to Wedderburn College, the schools of Boort Primary and Boort Secondary School, Pyramid Hill P-10 College, Wycheproof P-12 College, Charlton College and Inglewood Primary school. The core function of the network is to improve outcomes for all students in the network area and to facilitate pathways for students whilst supporting the achievement of De&T targets and priorities.

There is an emphasis, through professional development, to improve teaching and learning in order to optimise student outcomes appropriate to their level of development. 

The College operates a sub-school structure for curriculum, welfare and administrative purposes.  Sub-school managers have responsibility for student outcomes at Prep - Year 4, Year 5 - Year 8 and Year 9 - Year 12. In the early years the College emphasises literacy and numeracy skill acquisition, the middle school aims to develop independent and team oriented learning skills and the senior school provides pathways for students to pursue post compulsory school options.

In 2003 the College introduced the VCAL course to complement other post compulsory course offerings. This is an exciting initiative, offering all students, post compulsory choices. In association with the offering of VCAL the College expanded its offering of VET courses.
