  • Geelong High School is a Year 7 - 12 co-educational school located near the centre of Geelong "The City by the Bay", and adjacent to a significant parkland area.  Established in 1910, GEELONG HIGH SCHOOL is one of the oldest secondary schools in the region.  It has a proud history, celebrating its centenary in 2010, and is held in high regard by the Geelong community. 

    Current enrolment is approximately 950 students, drawn mainly from the nearby areas of East and South Geelong and Newcomb, with significant numbers also from the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong's outskirts. The Leadership Team comprises a Principal, three Assistant Principals, the Business Manager IT Manager and nine Leading Teachers. There are approximately 110 staff, of whom 75 are teaching staff.

    The school motto, VITAE NOS PARAT, which means It (the School) Prepares Us For Life, provides a basis for the total school curriculum, and there is a strong recognition within the school, that the various elements of the school community work in partnership to achieve optimum outcomes for all our students.  Students are supported and encouraged to reach their full academic and personal potential, through innovative and engaging teaching programs.

With the introduction of Phase 1 of the Australian Curriculum from 2013, the Geelong High School curriculum has included a core year 7 and 8 program, a core and elective program across years 9 and 10, and the later years program where students could study a combination of VCE, VET, VCAL, and Australian school-based apprenticeships (ASBAs).

The school buildings and facilities, built up over many decades, are eclectic in design and function. However, periodic funding has enabled the acquisition of a number of new modular classrooms and significant ground works have improved students’ passive and active outdoor recreational areas, as well as enhancing the appearance of the school surroundings. Further smaller refurbishment projects have been budgeted for, and many of these have been completed. The school has been granted $20.5 Million for a major redevelopment of the entire campus which commenced during 2017.

The use of learning technologies in the classroom is a priority at Geelong High School with appropriate PD being offered to staff and a 5 year eLearning plan currently being developed. The school has an extensive computer network that is continually evolving. The school is fully 1:1 with BYOD Ipads for years 7-10 and Windows based for years 11-12.

There are four houses at Geelong High School.  Student wellbeing forms the basis for the School’s House Structure. All students are actively involved in the house system and the discipline and welfare of students is centred around this structure.  Student leadership is an integral part of the school culture. Leadership amongst students is actively encouraged and celebrated at all levels with students being given the opportunity to be involved in the decision making processes of the school. Leadership opportunities come from a broad range of activities such as the School Captains, SRC, House Captaincy, Band Captains and Performing Arts, Green (Sustainability)Team. Geelong High School aims to build on strong community links and to be supportive of all members of its community.
