Hundreds of Victorian students will be forced to move after finding out the school, north of Melbourne, had been placed into administration.
A private boarding school north of Melbourne has blindsided students, announcing it has been placed into administration and most classes will wrap up this week.Hundreds of students will be forced to relocate when Colmont School closes on Friday
Colmont School, formerly known as the Kilmore International School until July 1 this year, also operated as a boarding school for international students. One parent said they only became aware of the Colmont School's dire financial circumstances after hearing about it from her daughter."There was a flurry of social media activity and then we found out that there was apparently a meeting at the Kilmore Town Hall that not everyone had been invited to."
The shock closure of the school comes despite the school stating on its website that the campus was "nearing full capacity", with the school planning to acquire a new site to expand the school further to include students from prep to year 2.
