The school was formed as an amalgamation of Mitcham High School, Mitcham Technical School, and Donvale High School at the beginning of 1989, and operated on three campuses for a short period of time. In 1994, the decision was made to merge all three campuses together. The Donvale campus closed at the end of the following year, with its population of Year 7-10 students moved to the Mitcham campus. The VCE campus, on Dunlavin Rd, remained open until the end of 1996.
