Princes Hill Secondary College is a state, coeducational Secondary school located in the inner Melbourne suburb of Carlton North, Australia. Prior to 1959, when it was elevated to High School status, PHSC was known as Princes Hill Public School and Princes Hill State School. The school has been in continuous operation since its establishment in Carlton North, Victoria in 1889. After a fire destroyed the original structure in 1971, the school was rebuilt in 1973 by Daryl Jackson and also won awards (Victorian bronze medal for architecture).
In addition to the school buildings, the College has access to Princes Park adjacent to the school for recreational and sports activities as well as its own gymnasium and outside sports area.

The school is uniquely located within the educational precinct of inner Melbourne with access to the resources of The University of Melbourne, Museum and Zoo, all of which are located in the vicinity. The College also has its own school camp at the Mirrimbah Country Centre in the foothills of Mount Buller.
The College provides for approximately 800 students from Years 7-12. The College is non-selective and draws students from over 30 Primary schools in the Cities of Yarra, Melbourne, Moreland and Darebin, with about 20% of our students travelling from more distant suburbs. The Victorian School of Languages, the Princes Hill Community Centre and a variety of other users add to the creative community activity centred around the College.
