Principal's Report

Dear Collingwood College,

Senior Secondary Program Partnership Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School Term Three News 

New senior secondary campus construction is underway 

We are excited that our senior secondary program partnership - which has been successfully co-delivered by Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School for over 10 years - will run from a contemporary, new, combined campus from term one, 2022. 

Construction of the campus is underway at the nearby historic Fitzroy Gasworks site on Queens Parade, Fitzroy North. During the build, the campus is known as ‘Fitzroy Gasworks (Senior Campus) (interim name)’ to reflect its geographic location. 

Our new campus will provide a dedicated senior secondary hub for students studying senior secondary programs and teaching staff. 

We will continue to offer our senior school partnership model from the new campus - providing students with a choice of VCE, VCAL and VET certificate courses along with a range of innovative senior programs. 

Our collaboration allows students to access an extensive range of subjects and a diversity of academic and vocational pathways, which will be further supported by these facilities. 

Senior secondary program partnership enrolments 

The designated neighbourhood zone (DNZ) for the Fitzroy Gasworks (Senior Campus) (interim name) is the Collingwood College DNZ and the Fitzroy High School DNZ together. 

Any student currently attending either of these schools or living in the Collingwood College DNZ or the Fitzroy High School DNZ - will be able to attend our senior secondary program campus. 

New campus origins 

Creating a new, combined senior secondary campus for our two existing and neighbouring, inner metropolitan schools – builds on our long-standing senior secondary program partnership. The campus will help ease enrolment pressures while also enhancing the learning experience for our students and the teaching environments for our staff. 

Facilities 

Some of the new facilities will include state-of-the-art general learning spaces, an arts and performance space, a digital design and technology hub, a wood and metalwork hub, and access to a rooftop terrace outdoor court and activity space
