The college hosted an activities day for Disability Sport and Recreation Victoria on Friday.
Student Representative Council co-ordinator Ashlea Bigham said the event was a great success.
"The students are very active and many enjoy playing a variety of sports," she said.
"It seemed like a good fit to raise money for an organisation that provides equipment for disabled athletes to participate in sport."
Miss Bigham said primary and secondary students enjoyed activities such as dodge ball and tunnel ball.
"There was also a science-themed paper plane challenge in the stadium," she said.
Miss Bigham said Red Cross staff member Andrew King discussed drug and alcohol safety with the college's secondary students.
"Kane and Sam King volunteered to entertain the crowd with some acoustic music, so we'd like to thank them for their generosity and time," she said.
Miss Bigham thanked Minyip IGA and Woody's Top Cut Meats for donating items for the barbecue, which was run by the Student Representative Council.
"The senior SRC students did a wonderful job of running lunch-time activities and cooking the food," she said.
"The students had a fantastic time and the organisers couldn't have been happier with the outcome."
