History

The first schools in Geelong were established when the town was settled from the 1850s. Many of these schools remain open today, now joined by a number of new schools opened from the 1950s when the population of Geelong grew after World War II.

King Charles III spent two terms at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in 1966.

The late 1980s and 1990s saw changes to the school system, with new secondary colleges such as Saint Ignatius College and Western Heights College were created from smaller secondary schools. It was also at this time that a number of technical schools were closed, and primary schools were closed by the Kennett State Government.

Tertiary education began with the Gordon Institute of Technology in 1888. Reform of the university sector resulted in the creation of Deakin University in the 1970s.

Today over 40,000 primary and secondary students are enrolled in schools in Geelong, with another 27,000 students a year enrolled in tertiary and further education courses. [1] Western Heights Secondary College will be split from a three-campus school in western Geelong to a single-campus school in Vines Road in the coming years.[ when? ]

Northern Bay P–12 College was formed in 2011 as a result of a merger of nine schools into one multi-campus college. This process of regeneration of the Corio and Norlane government schools began in 2006 and was driven by the nine school communities to ensure young people and their families in the northern suburbs of Geelong had access to high-quality education in world-class facilities.
