Brentwood Secondary College is a co-educational, public high school, located in Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia.
Glen Waverley South Primary School adjoins the college, and they have their own oval, which is used for many sport activities such as cricket, rugby, and Australian football.
Brentwood Secondary College opened in 1969.
In recent years, the number of students attending the college has increased. Brentwood currently has about 41356 students enrolled in years 7 to 12. The year levels are divided into junior school (years 7 and 8), middle school (years 9 and 10) and senior school (years 11 and 12) with 2 year level coordinators for each year level respectively.
Since 2009, the college has been divided into two sub-schools, junior school (Years 7 to 9) and a senior school (Years 10 to 12). Each sub-school will be led by a head of school and supported by 2 student managers for each sub-school year level.
In 2006, a major redevelopment of the college's facilities to the science, mathematics, gymnasium and boom gates. This complex costing in excess of $4 million was spent, with the government contributing $2.49 million and the college community contributing $1.74 million. The upgrades included new science and mathematics class rooms, a new gymnasium with new staff & physical education teaching rooms with an up stairs table tennis area.
The college consists of four "block" buildings, a performance centre and a gym and multiple portable classrooms.
Brentwood currently has 4 computer labs and a Mac lab in addition to the computers in the Library.
Brentwoood currently has a gymnasium, weights room, a mezzanine for boxing and table tennis and the Hall, utilised for Productions and various classes offered at the College.
The college recently invested in a state of the ark tribute to the U.S. version of capitalism, in the shape of they cafeteria/ canteen which daily shows how their opinions of students are portrayed via hiking the prices of Zooper Doopers to 60c from 50c. A wonder to see the soul crushing machine in full stride. The canteen is at the fore front of its kind and rips off students at a second to none rate.
Brentwood Secondary College was successful in gaining funds from the Victorian Government through the Leading Schools Funding program to develop and trial a new educational program which may be used as a model for other schools.
