Brunswick Secondary College is a state secondary school for students in Years 7 to 12, located in the Melbourne suburb of Brunswick. It is one of two government secondary schools located in Brunswick; the other being Sydney Road Community School.
Brunswick Secondary College was formed during the early 1990s after an amalgamation of Brunswick Technical School, Brunswick Girls School, Brunswick East Secondary School and Brunswick High School. It officially opened in 1995, operating on the former site of Brunswick Technical School. In the 2000s, the school saw a steady improvement in its results in many areas including VCE scores, and as such now attracts students from well beyond its neighbourhood zone. Enrolment as of 2011 is 900. The Northern Metropolitan Region has given approval for the school to grow to 1,100 over the next few years.
Brunswick Secondary offers a comprehensive curriculum from Year 7 to 12, and many electives and enrichment opportunities. In 2011, it introduced a Victorian Applied Learning Program (VCAL) into the curriculum, partnered with its Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) curriculum. Brunswick Secondary has an active performing arts program, involved in many different areas including dance, drama, instrumental music, as well as its Rock Eisteddfod participation. The school offers Mandarin Chinese and Italian as its Languages Other Than English. The school also runs a SEAL (Select Entry Accelerated Learning) Program and a VCE Early Start Program. The school participates in the University of Melbourne's Mathematics Extension Program.
