Maribyrnong College is Victoria's only state-funded Sports Specialism school with a sports enrolment comprising nearly 40% of the school population. The College provides a broad VCE and nearly all students undertake additional study after Year 12, most at university. Around 40 international students attend the school across Years 10 to 12. Maribyrnong delivers programs that produce excellent outcomes for students in both academic and sporting endeavours and this is aptly described by the school's motto: 'Pride in Performance'. A rich extra-curricular program includes instrumental music and drama, a school production, and a strong interschool sport program. The college is undertaking a significant refurbishment and building program. The 230 seat theatre has been completely renovated in 2009.

　　A new VCE Centre with private study hall and common area was completed for the start of the 2010 school year. The first stage of the Sports Academy opened in July 2010 and includes a 7000 square metre sporting complex with indoor running track and elite training centre and six international standard tennis courts. All students at the college will use this facility for Health and PE classes, and the facility forms the base for the Sports Academy program. Stage 2 sports fields including an outdoor running track, national standard artificial hockey pitch, and a FIFA rated soccer field will be completed during Term 3, 2011. A significant proportion of the school has been repainted and all lockers will have been replaced by the end of Term 3, 2011. During 2011, students in some year levels will be provided with Netbooks through the Federal Government National Secondary School Computer Fund.

　　An analysis of 2010 NAPLAN results indicates Maribyrnong students grew at between one and two times the rate of growth of all Victorian students in all measures of literacy and numeracy. In addition the College was one of the fastest growing schools in terms of VCE results in 2010. The mean study score for Maribyrnong College grew from 24 to 27 - unprecedented results in the College's history.
