University High School Relocates Year 9 Students to CBD Office

The move addresses overcrowding issues as Melbourne's inner-city schools face rising enrolment demands.

University High School will relocate its entire Year 9 cohort to a new campus on Lonsdale Street in Melbourne's CBD starting in 2025.
The decision comes as the school deals with a significant increase in student numbers, necessitating the use of a temporary facility.
The new campus will operate under a seven-year lease and lacks outdoor space, with students using nearby Flagstaff Gardens for breaks.
Parents and community members express concerns over the adequacy and safety of the new location, urging for more permanent solutions.
The Victorian Education Department is exploring long-term options to expand secondary school facilities in the surrounding areas to manage enrolment growth.
