**Location Profile**:
- Greater Shepparton Secondary College was formed by the merger of four secondary colleges. On 18 December 2017, the Minister for Education approved the recommendation of the Shepparton Education Plan to merge the four Shepparton and Mooroopna secondary schools (Shepparton High School, McGuire Secondary College, Wanganui Park Secondary College and Mooroopna Secondary College) into a single school on a single site. In the interim period while the new college is being built, three of the current school sites are being utilised as campuses of the new school entity.
- Greater Shepparton City Council (GSCC), located 180 kilometres north of Melbourne, is the fifth-largest city in regional Victoria and consists of Shepparton City, Mooroopna and Tatura. 75% of the municipality¿s population live in Shepparton and Mooroopna. The area is a culturally and linguistically diverse community with almost one quarter of the population born overseas, including recent arrivals and refugees from Africa and the Middle East. It has Victoria¿s largest concentration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people outside of Melbourne. There are over 6,000 businesses and a workforce of 30,000.
- The establishment of the new secondary college in Shepparton is the initial phase of the Shepparton Education Plan. It seeks to improve educational outcomes, P-12 and beyond through improved transitions, pathways and opportunities, improved teacher capacity, resources and a contemporary school infrastructure. The Shepparton Education Plan and the creation of a revitalised secondary school model is the outcome of longer term work by schools and consultation with the community to collaboratively improve learning opportunities, community engagement and educational outcomes.
- The development of the new secondary college in Shepparton provides exciting opportunities for the successful applicant to contribute to the transformation of secondary curriculum, pedagogy and student connection and to build community participation and ownership of the new school.
- On completion, the school will include:
- Approximately 2700 students arranged in nine houses of 300 year 7-12 students.
- New school facilities with contemporary shared teaching and learning spaces and specialist areas
- The location of the new College is the site of the existing Shepparton High School in Hawdon Street, Shepparton. The site offers many opportunities being in close proximity to the Shepparton Campuses of Latrobe and Melbourne Universities and Goulburn Ovens TAFE, and to commercial and cultural precincts. This will support the development of student pathway options and community engagement.
