Melrose High School
About the Business
Welcome to Melrose High School, a prestigious secondary school located in Pearce, Australian Capital Territory. Founded on a strong tradition of encouraging academic achievement, our institution provides a safe and friendly environment where students can flourish and grow.
At Melrose High School, we value respect and aim to foster the intellectual, aesthetic, moral, emotional, physical, and social growth of our students. We believe in providing ample opportunities and support for their development in all these areas.
Our school uniform promotes unity and a sense of belonging. Students are required to wear the MHS Navy polo shirt with the house colored logo during PE classes, dance classes, and sports carnivals. For bottoms, students can choose between black tracksuit pants, plain or with the Melrose branding, as well as black pants or shorts, also plain or with the Melrose branding. Shorts must be of an acceptable length, reaching mid-thigh or longer than the fingertips of the student with arms by their side. Additionally, girls have the option to wear a tartan dress following the same length guidelines. To purchase uniforms, please visit our online store at https://melrosehs.liquidpromotions.com.au/. All orders will be delivered to the school, and you will be notified via text message when they are ready for collection.
As part of our commitment to effective governance, Melrose High School has a School Board responsible for overseeing our strategic direction. The Board ensures that we align with Directorate directions, ACT Government priorities, and all legislative obligations. If you are interested in contributing to the governance of our school, we encourage you to join the Board. Nominations for various positions on the School Board will open on Monday, 6 February 2023, and each term will last for a period of two years.

Reviews
"They care more about what you are wearing to how well your mental health is."
"now it really could be better. first off, the teachers are doing a terrible job of well just teaching. the staff never listen to the students, just expecting everyone to behave by their rules. the students aren’t allowed to express themselves much and talk about how working with something else could be more beneficial to their learning. but no, the students have to follow one out of many solutions. nobody has done anything about any sort of bullying. and on a side note, the front office doesn’t do anything to help anyone. it’s just there, waste of recourses. hitchcock and kay are bad staff members, and should really try harder with this school."
"Hitchcock and Mr kay are the worst with dealing with kids really upsetting to see them take away learning from kids for petty reasons. I’ve heard multiple story’s and I can safely say if your kid dosent really get along with others don’t bring them to this school they do nothing about fights expect suspend the students not even letting them fight accusations."
"The school has several facilities with great educational programs such as the seismometer and the bike track. However, the structural leveling of each class is apparent to encourage the ACE students, and belittle the level 2 students. ACE students get educational opportunities such as excursions and hands on learning, however the level 2 students are not afforded the same opportunities. It greats favoritism and encourages bullying."
"Both my sons went to Melrose High School back in the late 80's and did extremely well. They thoughly enjoyed their time there. Very proud of them todate. Also a well known politician of today went there too."
