Mornington Secondary College is a secondary school in Mornington, Victoria, Australia serving the communities of Somerville, Tyabb, Moorooduc, Mount Martha, and Mornington on the Mornington Peninsula.

History

Mornington Secondary College was established in 1993 as a dual-campus institution after a merger of Mornington Technical School and Mornington High School. The latter institution opened in 1956 in a temporary location, before moving to a new building on the corner of Nepean Highway and Wilsons Road the next year. In 1999, the two campuses were consolidated into the old Mornington Technical School; the old Mornington High School site, which by then was the junior campus, was closed and its buildings were then demolished.[2]

Extracurricular activities and athletics

The school offers Hands On Learning, The Victoria Police Youth Corp and Drum Corp, and many other extra-curricular programs to its students.

This particular college is well known for its sports swimming team, which is currently ranked at number 2 on the Australian leader boards. It also was the only state school in victoria to compete in the state inter-school athletics competition.
