About the project

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

In 2022, Clyde Secondary College welcomed students in Year 7. The school is open enrolments by year level as the first cohort of students progress through school. The school can accommodate a capacity of approximately 575 students, including approximately 50 places allocated to specialist provision.

Konnie Prades was appointed as the first principal of the school.

The college was previously known by its interim name, Clyde North Station Secondary College, during the planning phase. We consulted with the community on Clyde Secondary Collegel's name from 11 June to 25 June 2021. The school is named after the suburb it is located in.

Facilities

  • an administration and learning resource centre building
  • a learning neighbourhood building
  • a science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) building
  • a performing arts and physical education building including an indoor multi-court
  • 2 hardcourts
  • landscaped outdoor play and learning areas
  • bike shelter

Design consultation

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

During January and February 2020, a second round of engagement invited locals to share their ideas, local knowledge and the things that mattered most about how their school would look, feel and function.

Clyde Secondary College families sought to develop and maintain their own sports programs without having to leave the school to access suitable facilities. They told us they considered this was a great way to build a school identity in a growing area on the urban fringe.

The community said it valued design facilities that supported wellbeing and mental health. They sought open classroom spaces for collaborative learning, and intervention areas for students who needed extra help and attention.

Our consultation received strong and consistent feedback on many of their design needs and goals. Our architects used your feedback to help shape your school's interior and its landscape design.

Funding

In the 2018–19 State Budget, $271.7 million was allocated to schools across the state for land acquisition. This included funding for Clyde Secondary College.

In 2020, the school shared in $438.6 million of funding for new schools.
