Camberwell High School is a government-funded, government run, co-educational high school for years 7 to 12, located on Prospect Hill Road in Canterbury, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Camberwell High School is located on a 3.2-hectare site in Canterbury, which lies about twelve kilometres from Melbourne's Central Business District.

Its school zone includes the affluent suburbs of Ashburton, Camberwell, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Hartwell, Burwood, Hawthorn and Hawthorn East.

The school is next to Riversdale Park and the East Camberwell Tennis Club. It is accessible via the 70 tram on Riversdale Road, Riversdale railway station on the Alamein line, and several bus stations of the bus route 612 on Prospect Hill Road

The school has multi-storeyed cream brick buildings, and extensive facilities. The school opened in 1941, with over 350 students – as of 2024, Camberwell High School has a total enrolment of 953, with a gender ratio of 69% male to 31% female.[1]

Facilities

The school is made up of several buildings. The double-storey A building is the centre of school administration, containing the administration office, the principal's and vice-principal's offices, the staff room, and the Brereton Library, as well as several classrooms. This is the oldest building in the school, with the façade constructed in the 1940s.

Adjacent to the A building is the assembly hall, which was renovated in 2015. This hall contains a stage with backstage areas that are connected to an underground toilet and change-room block. The hall also has theatrical lighting facilities which are accessible from the ceiling. In 2017 a student suffered a neck injury after he fell 10 m (32 ft 9.70 in) while adjusting lighting fixtures in this ceiling area.[2]

The B Building is the centre of arts and technology, containing media and photography spaces, art rooms, and woodworking spaces. Below the B building is the music centre, containing practice rooms and a soundproofed recording studio. In the same building is the VCE centre.

The C building is parallel to the A building, and is three storeys high. The D building is adjacent to the C building, and contains the schools drama centre. Renovation on these two buildings was funded by the Victorian state government and began in 2018.

Steps and entrance to school

In 2011 the school commenced construction of a new building, the E building, housing a theatrette and extensive media and IT facilities. This building has an "open learning" floor plan with only two classrooms in the building having separate doors. The centre was completed in late 2012 and was renamed from the "Innovation centre" to the "Enterprise centre".[3] The school also has a sports hall, a large oval, and several basketball courts. In 2018, the oval's surface was changed from authentic grass to synthetic grass.

Notable alumni

House system
