Kyneton High School is located in the township of Kyneton in the Macedon Ranges, 84kms north-west of Melbourne, and has a proud history of over 100 years. Most students travel to school by bus from the surrounding district and townships in the Macedon Ranges. Since 2019 there has been a significant program of capital works which has seen a substantial improvement in facilities. The commencement of further building works in 2022 resulted in completion of a new building in late 2023, providing facilities for Art, Science and Food Technology, as well as new general-purpose classrooms for the Middle Years. These works also delivered refurbished Music, Drama and Wellbeing spaces.
Our school provides access to a wide range of learning and career pathways. Not only do we offer the Victorian Curriculum for Years 7-10, and a comprehensive VCE (including Vocational Major) and VET programs; we also provide flexibility in our approach to course design, catering for the individual needs of our students. We achieve excellent exit destination results with most students having positive pathways to either University, TAFE, apprenticeships or employment.
