Belridge Secondary College, formerly Belridge Senior High School, is a comprehensive co-educational state high school located in Beldon, 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) south of Joondalup in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. Opening in 1990, the school's catchment area covers much of the northern part of the City of Joondalup. As of Semester 1, 2014, the school has an enrolment of 766 students between Year 8 and Year 12.
Belridge, whose name reflects its location on the boundary between Beldon and Heathridge, first opened in 1990 for Year 8 students, and progressively expanded its age range until 1995 when its first Year 12 students commenced. Its original purpose was to reduce demand at Ocean Reef Senior High School due to high demand for its advanced programs and its inability to take students from within its primary catchment area. In 2006, the school was upgraded following the closure three years earlier of nearby Craigie Senior High School.
