AddressElevation Secondary College is a new 7 ¿ 12 Secondary College in Melbourne¿s north. The school opened its doors to its first cohort of Year 7 students in 2020 to a purpose built, state of the art educational facility. At present, the school has over 900 Year 7 ¿ 11 students and will add an additional year 7 cohort each year until 2025 when it will become a 7 ¿ 12 school.
In 2022, Elevation Secondary College was named #1 best place to work in Australia/New Zealand in the Government, Education and Non for Profit sector by the Australian Financial Review and Inventium!
There has been great excitement in the community about the new school, which has been built with a Science, Technology and Arts Building, as well as a general-purpose learning community, Administration Centre and Library. Now that our second stage is complete, our students are benefiting from our new gymnasium, preforming arts and music facility, food technology and sporting grounds.
This year, we added year 11 to our program, as well as a new cohort of year 7 students. To cater for this growth, we are recruiting a wide range of leadership and classroom teacher positions.
The school is situated in Melbourne¿s booming northern growth corridor approximately 23 kilometres from Melbourne and services the rapidly growing and aspirational communities of the Aston and Highlands Estates in Craigieburn, Greenvale and further north to Mickleham. The school has had significant demand for enrolments since opening- well beyond current capacity.
