Wurun Senior Campus

Announcement of name for the new senior secondary campus for Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School (formerly the Gasworks campus)

We are delighted to let you know that Wurun Senior Campus has been announced as the name of our new senior secondary campus for Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School.

Wurun Senior Campus is located on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung people, on Queens Parade Fitzroy North, the historic Fitzroy Gasworks site. The Department of Education and Training consulted with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation along with representatives from Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School on the campus name.  Use of the name ‘Wurun’ for the campus has been approved by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. Wurun (pronunced wuh-RUN) is a Woi wurrung word of the Wurundjeri people meaning river white gum. Our senior campus will also feature an embedded Indigenous narrative developed in collaboration with the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation. Examples of these interpretative elements include native planting with Woi wurrung language naming at the courtyard entry; a 25-metre concourse mural depicting a linear narrative of the Wurundjeri Woi wurrung people’s history and culture and the wayfinding colour palette informed by the manna gum. Having an Indigenous name for our campus and these design elements as part of our campus fabric will build on the indigenous perspectives within our curriculums and help ensure carriage of the local Indigenous culture well into the future.

Kind regards,
Sam Luck
Colllege Principal

Senior Program Guide for 2022

Dear students, parents, guardians and careers,

Welcome to Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School’s Senior Program Guide for 2022.

In a new exciting chapter for the partnership, in 2022, all classes for all Year 11 and 12 subjects will now be based at our shared senior campus, located at the old Fitzroy Gasworks site, in Queens Parade. The new campus will offer key opportunities for all students.  The design of the building showcases specialist learning precincts including Science, Technology, Art, Food, Design, Sport and the Performing Arts. These areas will sit more alongside generalist, flexible learning spaces that will encourage and promote learning throughout the facility.

The new campus will have a strong connection to the indigenous history and culture of our local community and with our existing school sites, building on the history and culture of Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School at the new campus.

Students of Collingwood College and Fitzroy High School are automatically eligible to attend Fitzroy Gasworks Senior Campus (interim name) in Year 11 and 12.  Year 10 students are also eligible to apply to study subjects at the Fitzroy Gasworks Senior Campus (interim name). Students select subjects by going through the panel process outlined on page 25 – 28 of the Senior Program Guide.

The Senior Program Guide 2022 has been produced to support you with the Senior School application process and to tell you more about the amazing facilities that will be available to all our senior students. Please read carefully.

Any student who would like to enroll at Year 11 and 12 will need to follow our enrolment procedure and enroll at the closest school to their home address. Enrolment is subject to availability.

We wish you well with your decision-making and planning and look forward to working with all our students and families in 2022.

Kind regards,

Chris Millard

Campus Principal
