The college has a canteen on site. The canteen operates between 9:00am and 2:00pm and supplies a large variety of hot and cold foods, drinks and vegetarian meals. A lunch ordering service is available each morning; profits from canteen sales go to the college and help buy equipment you use.
Governance is via the Narrabundah College Board and the Narrabundah College Parents and Citizens Association; the P&C Constitution provides for community members to be elected to the College Board and to provide for a canteen.
Narrabundah College is a senior secondary college in Canberra offering three pathways for students aged 16–18: the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate with ATAR, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) for Years 11–12, and a French Baccalaureat pathway delivered in a French-language stream. The college educates about 1,000 Year 11–12 students and provides a curriculum anchored in the Australian framework while offering IB and French-language routes to broaden university options. The IB Diploma is a two-year program with six subjects (three Higher Level and three Standard Level) plus core components—Extended Essay, CAS, and Theory of Knowledge. In Year 12, ATAR and IB assessment tasks are integrated within timetabled courses. The French Baccalaureat pathway is taught in French as part of the French-stream pathway. A new Design, Arts, Technology and Science building (DATS), valued at about $31.9 million, is under construction with completion planned for 2027 and a subsequent move-in for staff and students. Seven languages are taught, and the school hosts students from more than 60 countries.
