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.

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.
