[edit] History

Hoppers Crossing Secondary College was originally opened in 1984 and called Hoppers Crossing Post Primary school. At the time, it was intended to combine the best of both high school and technical education into a single institution. In 1984, the college opened with only a Year 7. Each year after that an additional level was added until the first Year 12 students completed their education in 1989.

At this time, the school had an enrolment of 1,232, the fourth-largest in the state at the time. More recently, enrolment has stabilised at about 900.

The college was renamed from Hoppers Crossing Post Primary to Secondary College in the early-90's.
