Macleod College[1] is a co-educational, Prep to Year Twelve school located on the corner of May and Carwarp Streets, Macleod, Melbourne, Australia. The College grew out of the merger of Macleod High School and Macleod Primary School in 2000. It has two sister schools, the Geschwister Scholl Gymansium (GSG) in Düsseldorf, Germany and the Hauibei Experimental School in the Anhui province in China.
Macleod College is next to the Macleod railway station and Macleod kindergarten. It shares facilities with the adjacent Banyule NETS stadium.
In 2010 Macleod College obtained funds through the National School Pride and the Primary Schools for the 21st Century programs to renovate its Year Seven area to an open-plan design and to build a new wing for Grade 3-6 students.
