Richmond High School (Victoria)

Richmond High School was a high school located in the Melbourne, Australia suburb of Richmond.

The school commenced in 1967 in portable classrooms at the back of Brighton Street Primary School, before moving to the purpose built premises on the banks of the Yarra River near Bridge Road in 1970. Its name was changed to Richmond Secondary College, and in 1992 it was closed by the Kennett Government. Today, the building is home to Melbourne Girls College, which opened in 1994.

New school

In 2014 the Labor Party pledged to build a new Richmond High School if elected.[1] In 2016 the Labor Government announced plans to build the school.[2] The new school located in Highett Street is projected to open in 2018.[3]
