 Established in 1919, Dandenong High
School is the oldest school, public or private, in Melbourne's outer east.
The school has high expectations of its students and an outstanding reputation
for providing excellent educational programs. Students are encouraged to take
responsibility for their own learning in an environment that values knowledge
and scholarship.
One of the major features of the school is the rich social environment provided
by the diverse background of its students. The caring environment engenders in
each individual a sense of self worth, tolerance and citizenship.
Each year the school holds ceremonies to mark traditions such as passing of the
colours, and to celebrate its current achievements.
Thus the school retains a
sense of continuity with the past while moving forward; seeking new directions
to provide the best possible opportunities for each child.
At the start of 2007, Dandenong High School, Cleeland Secondary College and
Doveton Secondary College officially merged to become the NEW Dandenong High
School. The new school will be built on the current Dandenong High School and
former Cleeland Secondary College sites. For further information, click
