Greenvale Secondary College

We built additional permanent capacity as part of Stage 2 works at Greenvale Secondary College, creating space for an extra 425 local students.

These works included:

• a learning neighbourhood building
• a visual arts building
• a community hub
• hardcourts
• sports oval
• outdoor spaces
• a carpark.

We built a new secondary college in Greenvale. It opened in 2022 and helps the growing local population get great education close to home.

Mark Natoli was appointed as the first principal of the school.

We consulted with the community on the school's name from 11 June to 25 June 2021. The school is named after the suburb it is located in.

Facilities

The school has the following facilities:

• an administration and learning resource centre building
• a science, technology, engineering and maths building
• a learning neighbourhood building
• 2 bike shelters
• a temporary hardcourt
• landscaped outdoor play and learning areas

Design consultation

In 2018, we consulted with local communities gaining new schools in Melbourne's fastest growing outer suburbs – including Greenvale Secondary College. We captured each local area's broad aspirations and used this feedback in our concept designs.

During January and February 2020, we held a second round of engagement. We invited locals to share their ideas and the things that mattered most about their new school.

Families wanted to see:

• playgrounds that used natural materials, colours and reflected the local parks and reservoirs
• areas that encouraged children to interact and be active
• shaded outdoor spaces that provided weather protection
• innovative classrooms that provided flexible learning environments to suit the growing community

Our consultation received strong and consistent feedback. Our architects used this to help shape your school's design.
