Homestead Senior Secondary College

We built a new senior secondary school in the Wyndham area. Homestead Senior Secondary College offered enrolments for Year 10 in 2020, Year 10 and 11 in 2021 and Years 10 to 12 in 2022.

This school, designed by Architectus and K2LD as part of the Growth Areas Schools Project, was a winner of the 'Minister's Award for Excellence' in the 2019 Victorian School Design Awards.

School name

Homestead Senior Secondary College was originally known by the interim name of Point Cook South Senior Secondary School while it was being planned and built.

As the new secondary school is located on the Point Cook Homestead Road, close to the Point Cook Homestead complex (approx. 2.5km), the new name reflects this historical, aesthetic and scientific significance to the state of Victoria.

The Department of Education chose this name after consulting with local communities on the names for all schools opening in 2020. To reach a final decision, the Department considered this community feedback along with the guiding principles for naming a new school.

Possible names for all the new schools were initially shortlisted by school advisory groups, who considered factors such as public interest, relevance to the local area, and local First Nations languages. The names were also chosen to help reflect each school's unique identity, inspire local pride and make them easily locatable.

We helped the school to upgrade science labs and install student gas jets to better service the science and physics curriculums.
