School Context:

Galvin Park Secondary College was built and resourced as Werribee Technical School in 1978 and has operated as a Secondary College since 1988. The College is located in the City of Wyndham on the south-western fringe of the Melbourne metropolitan area.

Wyndham is one of Melbourne’s principal growth areas with a population increase of 6% per annum and an estimated population of 164,922 by 2021, with a high population of young people, 35% of whom are 0-24. Galvin Park Secondary College is 1.5klms from the town centre of Werribee and bordered on two sides by ‘crisis housing’.

Enrolment in 2006 is 1333 and has been increasing each year as land west of the college is released for housing and higher density redevelopment occurs adjacent to the college.
