[edit] History

The first schools in Geelong were established when the town was settled from the 1850s. Many of these schools remain open today, now joined by a number of new schools opened from the 1950s when the population of Geelong grew after World War II.

The late 1980s and 1990s saw changes to the school system, with new secondary colleges such as Catholic Regional College and Western Heights Secondary College were created from smaller secondary schools. It was also at this time that a number of technical schools were closed, and primary schools were closed by the Kennett State Government.

Tertiary education begun with the Gordon Institute of Technology in 1888. Reform of the university sector resulted in the creation of Deakin University in the 1970s.

Today over 40,000 primary and secondary students are enrolled in schools in Geelong, with another 27,000 students a year enrolled in tertiary and further education courses.^[1] Western Heights Secondary College will be split from a three campus school in western Geelong to a single campus school in Vines Road in the coming years.
