Location Profile
HOPPERS CROSSING SECONDARY COLLEGE opened in 1984 and is a single campus, co-educational college with an enrolment of approximately 1,400 students. Situated in an urban growth corridor, approximately 20 minutes west of Melbourne, we welcome students from Years 7 to 12, from Hoppers Crossing and the surrounding district.
The College places great importance on developing innovative and challenging educational programs, through which young people recognise the value of growth through learning and academic rigour is valued at all stages of learning.
We aim to achieve the extraordinary by providing an education that focuses on developing our students' academic potential. Our classroom focus is on challenge, engagement, and achievement.
A highly committed staff share in the vision and values of the College and are dedicated to supporting students throughout all stages of learning. The time and effort teachers put into their classes ensures the best educational outcomes, which has most recently been reflected in our academic results. Over 90% of our Year 12 students progress to tertiary education or training institutes or vocational positions.
Our students are guided throughout their chosen pathway of VCE, VCAL, or VET studies and are prepared for post-secondary options, including tertiary entry and further training or employment.
A diverse range of innovative educational, co-curricular, and enrichment programs are offered across Years 7 to 12, including the Estancia High School Exchange Program, Chinese Overseas Learning Experience, Italian Language Immersion Program, Wakakirri Competition, Inter-School Sports, Year 7 and 10 Scholarship Programs, Student Representative Council, Youth Parliament, High Resolves, and Work Experience Programs.
Additionally, Year 11 and 12 Enhancement Studies make it possible to incorporate TAFE certificates and University studies within the VCE program.
The College prioritises ICT across the curriculum with the inclusion of interactive whiteboards or media projectors in every classroom, Apple Mac laboratories, and a 1:1 Netbook Program.
These facilities are aimed at preparing students with the skills required for them to take their place as 21st-century learners and citizens.
College grounds are immaculately presented and maintained, providing our students with a positive learning environment. Our students are also able to enjoy upgraded facilities including plexipaved basketball and tennis courts in addition to our $2 million state-of-the-art Science Centre.
Parental involvement in College operations and the learning process is encouraged as we consider this contribution to have a positive effect on the education of our young people. We hope you will agree that our school is truly a great school.
