Princes Hill Secondary College

Princes Hill Secondary College is a public high school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is one of the oldest continuously operating schools in Victoria, with a proud history of educating young people. The school was founded in 1889 as Princes Hill State School in a red brick, double-storey building in Arnold Street, Carlton North. In 1959 the school became Princes Hill High School when its primary school aged students moved to a new primary school building in nearby Pigdon Street. The school's Victorian-era building was destroyed in a fire in 1970 and was replaced by the current buildings. Now known as Princes Hill Secondary College, the school has more than 900 students in Years 7-12. The school draws students from more than 30 Primary schools in the Cities of Yarra, Melbourne, Moreland and Darebin,
