Suzanne Cory High School (abbreviated as SCHS) is a Year 9 to 12 selective entry, co-educational, public school in the western region of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school caters for academically gifted students and provides an educationally enriched environment. Enrolment is offered to those having reached a high aptitude in the annual selective entry high schools entrance examination run by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DET).
The school was established in 2011 with 200 inaugural Year 9 students. 200 positions for Year 9 students are offered each year. In 2014, the school, for the first time, accommodated a full cohort of 800 students, ranging from Year 9 to 12. It is one of three additional selective high schools in Victoria alongside John Monash Science School and Nossal High School. The addition of these three schools are the result of a policy of expansion, increasing the number of fully selective government schools in Victoria. Prior to these schools, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and Melbourne High School were the sole academic selective entry schools in Victoria.
Located in Hoppers Lane, Werribee, the school is in close proximity to Werribee Mercy Hospital and Hoppers Crossing railway station. Suzanne Cory High School is situated adjacent to Victoria University, giving students the opportunity to access university facilities, programs and academic staff.
The school is named in honour of the renowned Australian biologist, Professor Suzanne Cory. The school logo depicts a significant gene strand, the aurantiacus, discovered by Cory.
