Sandringham College (established 1988) is a two-campus secondary college located in the south-eastern suburb of Sandringham in Melbourne, Victoria.
In 1987 the State Government of Victoria decided to merge four schools – Beaumaris High, Hampton High, Highett High and Sandringham Technical Schools. It was at a time when the VCE was first introduced as the main certificate for the Later Years of schooling. The Sandringham Technical School site became the Senior Campus, Hampton High, Beaumaris High and Highett High became Years 7-10 Junior Campuses – Sandringham College was formed.
Sandringham College is made up of the following two campuses:
The Sandringham Junior campus caters to students in years 7-10 whilst the Senior campus is designed for the education of students studying for their VCE VCAL and Vocational Education and Training(VET) studies. The Senior campus encourages creativity, self-discipline and an 'adult' relationship between students and their teachers. In addition, it has an international program, with sister schools in Britain and Asia.
The school is known for its music and arts programs along with one of the largest range of subjects in the state, attracting many students from a wide area of South East Melbourne.
Both campuses of Sandringham College were designed by the Public Works Department of Victoria and built in the Light Timber Construction style.
Both campuses are clad in grey cement tiles and with minor alterations, all buildings remain intact.
