Secondary Schools
There are many public secondary schools in Melbourne's west. Since 2000, the Western Metropolitan Region of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has articulated and implemented a series of public school improvement and development initiatives.
The Blueprint for School Improvement sets out how the Western Metropolitan Region will become Victoria's most rapidly improving region in student learning outcomes.
Suzanne Cory High School, which will be accepting its first cohort of students into year 9 in 2011, is one of four selective entry high schools in Melbourne and the first selective entry high school to be located in Melbourne’s western suburbs.
