Mowbray College, a large private school in Melbourne’s outer west, has been put into voluntary liquidation after its $18 million debt dragged the school under. The college, with a student population of over 1,200, is unlikely to open its doors after the end of the current school term. 

 

In an attempt to keep the school operational for the coming weeks, the Victorian Government has brought forward a $400,00 grant to ensure it completes the school term.

 

Unpaid school fees are rumored to be in excess of $2 million.
