We're building a new secondary school for Craigieburn.
Elevation Secondary College was known by the interim name of Craigieburn South Secondary School while it was being planned and built.
We're building the school in multiple stages. The first stage, ready for term 1 2020, will include a building for specialist subjects (chemistry), a learning community (classrooms), administration building and hard courts.
Future stages will deliver two additional learning communities, further fit-out of specialist science spaces, a performing arts and physical education building as well as more hard courts. Construction of future stages will depend on future State Budget funding. To learn more, take a look at the animated site map under Video.
Further information on the school can be found at its official Facebook page.
Supported Inclusion School
Elevation Secondary Collage is a supported inclusion school. This means the school has been designed to support a higher number of students with a disability than a typical mainstream school. Included across the school are facilities that provide additional support, so that all students have access to the same learning and play.
Principal Appointment
We are pleased to announce that Colin Burke has been appointed as the first principal of Elevation
Secondary College.
This appointment follows a thorough Department of Education expression of interest process.
Information Events
To ensure all of our future students had the opportunity to meet their teachers and see what their new school is all about, we held an orientation day on Tuesday 10 December at the Craigieburn Hume Global Learning Centre.
Enrolments
Intake of students in 2020 will be limited to Year 7 to ensure smooth transition into the new school community.
For questions about enrolments, please contact the school.
State-wide school zone maps are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au .
Policies on enrolment, placement, and admission are available on the Department of Education and Training website.
School Name
Elevation Secondary College was originally known by the interim name of Craigieburn South Secondary School while it was being planned and built.
The new name reflects its location on Elevation Boulevard, Craigieburn.
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.
