Noble Park Secondary College is a secondary 7–12 co-educational school in Noble Park, Melbourne. According to the school, they have enrolled over 40 different nationalities into the school, with 44% of the students being born outside Australia.[1] Its sister school is Shinminato Senior High School.[2]
Noble Park High School was opened by the Department of Education in 1962, following the opening of the nearby Noble Park Technical School in 1957. The school's buildings were constructed by AVJennings in the Light Timber Construction (LTC) style, and clad with pebble-encrusted cement tiles. The cost of the contract for the first and second sections of the school was £84,389.[3] The third section was constructed later, providing the school with two LTC classroom wings and an LTC technical block, all of which remain in use today.
In the early 1990s, the school's name was changed to Noble Park Secondary College, and the Noble Park Technical School was closed.
Grounds and facilities
The school contains three light timber construction wings ('A', 'B' & 'C') as well as an administration wing, a library and a hall.
NPSC also features a separate basketball & tennis courts, a hockey field (though it is more commonly used for Soccer) and a football oval, with a cricket pitch featured inside of it during the cricket season.
