Cheltenham Secondary College is a co-educational high school in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia, catering for students in years 7 to 12. The school officially opened in 1959 as 'Cheltenham High School', and then later changed its name to Cheltenham Secondary College. The school participates in the Windsor-Cheltenham Exchange, an exchange between Avenues College in Adelaide and Cheltenham where a range of sports and other activities are played out over a week to see who will win the Exchange Shield, Captains Plate and Exchange Cup.
The sports centre opened in July 2003 and comprises two full-sized indoor courts, electronic scoreboard, fully equipped changing rooms, as well as kitchen and storage facilities. Physical education classes, weekly sport rotations and whole-school assemblies are regularly held in the sports centre.
The performing arts centre opened in late 2003 and was developed from the previous school hall. The centre comprises a 200-seat theatre, two music classrooms, two spacious drama/theatre studies classrooms as well as several music tuition rooms. The annual school production is presented in the centre.
In 2022, the Victorian Labor government committed to providing $7.3 million to upgrade the school if it won the 2022 Victorian state election.[3] This funding was subsequently allocated in the 2023 state budget, with the upgrade forecast to be complete by 2026.[4]
