Belmont High School is an Australian public high school located in Belmont, Victoria, a suburb in the city of Geelong. It is one of the largest public schools in Geelong. The school was established in 1955[1] and as of 2019, it has an enrolment of over 1300 students from years 7 to 12.[2]
The school has been progressively refurbished, with the most recent work costing $6.66 million and comprising new administration and staff areas, canteen, and four "learning centres".[3]
There is a new Science-Technology centre called 'BioLab' that was completed in 2010 that is accessible for schools throughout Geelong to utilise.
Curriculum
The school offers a programme which includes a core curriculum in years 7 to 8 (English, Mathematics, Science, Italian, Indonesian, Technology, Arts, Studies of Society and Environment, Health and Physical Education). At years 9 to 12 a wide range of pathways are available. These include the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), Vocational Education Training (VET), Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and school-based apprenticeships.
Belmont High School is one of 37 Victorian Government secondary schools providing a Select Entry Accelerated Learning Programme to address the learning needs of their gifted and high potential students.[1] This allows these students to begin VCE subjects in Year 9 and complete school a year earlier if they wish.
The school also offers specialised programmes catering for international students.
Incidents
On the 8 August 2008, a fire swept through a portable classroom, taking firefighters 40 minutes to control the blaze and another 90 minutes to fully damp down the site. One portable classroom was destroyed. There was also a fire in a science room, causing damage that had to be fixed over the start of 2011 holidays. On 19 April 2018 a shooting threat sent the school into lockdown. Police attended the school and upon realising that the threat was a hoax students were briefed on the situation and the day continued as normal.[4]
