Melbourne High School

Welcome to Melbourne High School, located in the vibrant suburb of South Yarra, Forrest Hill. As an establishment and point of interest, we take great pride in being a leading secondary school in Australia. At Melbourne High School, our mission is to educate the next generation of leaders and changemakers, instilling in them the values of academic excellence, well-rounded development, and a commitment to community service.

As a selective entry high school, we have a long-standing tradition of academic excellence. Our students consistently achieve outstanding results in national and international examinations, setting them up for success in their future endeavors. We offer a comprehensive curriculum and a wide range of subjects, ensuring that our students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for professional life and further education.

But Melbourne High School is more than just academics. We believe in the importance of nurturing the whole student, which is why we offer a diverse range of co-curricular activities. From performing and visual arts to sports, our students have the opportunity to explore their passions and develop their talents outside of the classroom. Our state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated teachers provide a supportive and enriching environment for students to thrive.

We also recognize and respect the traditional owners of the land on which our school stands. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin nation and their enduring connections to Country. Melbourne High School is grateful for the ongoing leadership of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities in Australian education. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. It is through this recognition and understanding that we aim to foster respect and appreciation for cultural diversity, enriching our students' understanding of Indigenous history and culture.

At Melbourne High School, we believe in the power of education to shape the future. We are committed to providing our students with the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become leaders and changemakers in their communities and beyond.
