We invite students, both present and past plus our broader community to follow this page. Swinburne Senior Secondary College is a co-educational government secondary college specifically for Years 11 and 12 students. The College offers the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), Vocational Education and Training (VET) and the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). At Swinburne Senior Secondary College we do things differently. We want our young adults to be ready for the real world. That’s why we focus on respect, responsibility and commitment. We cater for young people wanting a breadth of subject options, a more adult-like learning environment, or simply a fresh start. We don’t have many school rules. Instead we live by our values. Everyday. We’ve been around since 1913 but in 1993, we started focusing on senior students who didn’t feel at home in other, more traditional, schools. Our curriculum and timetable is varied and flexible to cater to a range of needs, attitudes and values. Some young people come to us for our renowned visual and performing arts, design and technology and humanities programs; some want to get ahead with our mathematics and science programs. Whatever their passion, our young people have access to 34 VCE subjects, VCAL at intermediate and senior levels and a broad range of VET certificate courses, of which 16 are taught at the school. We want to redress disadvantage and discrimination. Every young adult, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or life circumstance has an opportunity to succeed here. Our young adults don’t have to pretend to be someone they’re not. Swinburne Senior Secondary College students arrive from all over greater metropolitan Melbourne and from government, independent and Catholic secondary schools. Our average enrolment is around 420 students from 130 feeder schools.
