Forest Hill College is a co-educational state secondary college in Burwood East, Victoria, Australia.
Up until 2010, Forest Hill College was divided into 2 sub-schools, Junior (Year 7-9), and Senior (Year 10-12), with a courtyard for Year 7–9, a courtyard for Year 10, and another courtyard for VCE Year 11–12.
New developmental plans for the school were implemented in 2010 which has since changed the way in which the college is divided. No longer are there separate courtyards based on year level. Instead, students are free to roam the entire college and interact with peers of all ages. This is part of the college's focus on community, in an attempt to build friendships throughout the college, making students feel welcome. This change is only one aspect of the ongoing development within the College.
Year levels are assisted in their welfare rolls by Junior and Senior Student Wellbeing Coordinators, a part-time Adolescent Health Nurse, a College Chaplain and Home Group Teachers.[ citation needed ]
In 2022, Forest Hill College received 10.9-million-dollar funding, [1] from the state Government, to refurbish the Science, Arts, iT, and Food Technology blocks, which also include the canteen and toilet blocks. Construction is estimated to start mid 2024.[ citation needed ]
