Kyneton High School has reclaimed its original name.
Minister for Education James Merlino approved a request for the former Kyneton Secondary College to restore its original name – Kyneton High School.
The school council requested the change in consultation with the broader community, noting the historical significance of the Kyneton High School name, and the school’s renewed mission to provide a great local education for its students with new learning facilities and training partnerships with local businesses.
“The school was known as Kyneton High School for over 60 years and I’m sure locals will be glad to see
the return of Kyneton High,” principal Ana Rees said.
The state government has supported Kyneton High School’s mission with the delivery of a $10.9 million upgrade project in May. The upgrades included modernisation works for Building 2 to create a new learning centre for year seven and eight, a new library and trades hub.
The trades hub provides learning areas for specialist trades – such as automotive, engineering and construction – and flexible workshops to support vocational education.
