History

History Swan Hill College is an accredited international school, which provides quality educational and training opportunities for the Rural City of Swan Hill and its surrounding region. The city is situated 330 kilometres from Melbourne on the River Murray with a city population of 10,000 and a district population of 22,000 dependent on a variety of primary industries, tourism and regional services. The College has a strong history, resulting from the amalgamation of the Swan Hill Technical School and the Swan Hill High School in 1993. The College is located near the central business district on a 4 hectare site, adjacent to spacious sporting fields, netball courts and the Swan Hill Leisure Centre. Swan Hill College schooled the children of the early settlers from the 1880’s. State education in Swan Hill commenced on the current site, with the development of Swan Hill High School in 1927, and Swan Hill Technical School was established in 1961 to meet the growing demand for boys’ vocational education. Today, Swan Hill College is the largest and most diverse provider of secondary education, and vocational training, in Northern Victoria. With a student population of 980, our curriculum and co-curricula program provides young people with opportunities and challenges designed to prepare them for further learning, whether tertiary education or employment.
