Edenbrook Secondary College was originally known by the interim name of Pakenham Henry Road Secondary School while it was being planned and built.
Johanna Walker has been appointed as the
first principal.
Enrolments are now open for Year 7 in 2021.
Further information on the school, including enrolment, can be

School name
Edenbrook 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 nearby Edenbrook wetlands.
We consulted with local communities for three weeks from Wednesday 24 June to Wednesday 15 July 2020. Thank you for your input.
