About the project

We built a new secondary college in Cranbourne West. It opened in 2021 and helps the growing local population get great education close to home.

Rob Duncan was appointed as the first principal.

The first stage of the new school included:

  • the visual arts building
  • a learning community
  • the science, technology, engineering and maths building
  • an administration building
  • a sports oval
  • 2 outdoor play courts.

Enrolments opened for Year 7 in 2021, increasing by year level in each consecutive year.

Supported inclusion school

This school is a supported inclusion school. This school has specialised facilities and capabilities designed to accommodate students with disabilities.

School name

Cranbourne West Secondary College was chosen as the school name following community consultation and discussions with Geographic Names Victoria, with consideration given to factors including public interest, relevance to the local area, and the consideration of local Indigenous languages.

The school is named after the suburb it is located in. This is the first new secondary college to be built in Cranbourne West.

We consulted with local communities for 3 weeks from Wednesday 24 June to Wednesday 15 July 2020. Thank you for your input.
