Geelong High School is a Year 7 - 12 co-educational school located near the centre of Geelong "The City by the Bay", and adjacent to a significant parkland area. Established in 1910, Geelong High School is one of the oldest secondary schools in the region. It has a proud history, celebrating its centenary in 2010, and is held in high regard by the Geelong community.

Current enrolment is approximately 975 students, drawn mainly from the nearby areas of East and South Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and across Geelong. The Leadership Team comprises a Principal, three Assistant Principals, the Business Manager, IT Manager and eight Leading Teachers. There are approximately 110 staff, of whom 75 are teaching staff.

The school motto, VITAE NOS PARAT, which means ¿It¿ (the school) Prepares Us For Life, provides a basis for the total school curriculum, and there is a solid recognition within the school, that the various elements of the school community work in partnership to achieve optimum outcomes for all our students.



Students are supported and encouraged to reach their full academic and personal potential, through innovative and engaging teaching programs such as the Geelong Positive Engagement Program (GPEP), Respectful Relationships and Reading Plus. In 2013 Geelong High School introduced Positive Education, based on the elements of positive psychology, to build a strong culture of optimism and growth mindset across the school.

The Geelong High School curriculum comprises a core year 7 and 8 program (including positive education), a core and elective program across years 9 and 10, and the later years program where students may study a combination of VCE, VET, VCE Voc Major, and Australian school-based apprenticeships (SBATs).

The use of learning technologies in the classroom is a priority at Geelong High School with appropriate PD being offered to staff and a 5 year eLearning plan currently being implemented. The school has an extensive computer network that is continually evolving. The school is fully 1:1 with BYOD for years 7-12.

Central to the structure and operation of the school is the house system.



All students are actively involved in the house system and the student management and welfare of students is centred on this structure. Student leadership is an integral part of the school culture. Leadership amongst students is actively encouraged and celebrated at all levels with students being given the opportunity to be involved in the decision making processes of the school. Leadership opportunities come from a broad range of activities such as the School Captains, SRC, House Captaincy, Band Captains and Performing Arts, Green (Sustainability) Team. Geelong High School aims to build on strong community links and to be supportive of all members of its community.
