• a double-storey building with:
  • administration spaces and a library
  • a learning neighbourhood
• a 3-storey building with specialist learning areas for technology, science and the arts

  • an indoor multi-use court
  • toilets and change room
  • a fitness room
  • specialist learning areas for music and drama
  • specialist learning areas for food technology
  • a canteen

Enrolments for 2026 are open

Cobblebank Secondary School is a supported inclusion school. Supported inclusion schools are local government schools with some extra accessibility features. These features help them teach and support more students with a disability.

In its first year of operation, Cobblebank Secondary School will open to Year 7 students only. An additional year level will be added each following year. The 2026 school zones are available at findmyschool.vic.gov.au.

For all enrolment queries, please email cobblebank.ss@education.vic.gov.au.

Your new school’s name

We have been using Cobblebank Secondary School as an interim name throughout planning for this new school. We recently consulted with the community on a name.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the public consultation process and provided their feedback and naming preferences.

The Department of Education will use the survey responses to help inform the decision on each new school’s name before being announced by the Minister for Education. We will share this new name once it is announced.
