Melbourne High School

About

Located in AUSTRALIA. This page is not an official page of the school and any opinions expressed on this page do not represent the official views of the school. Founded over 100 years ago, admission to Melbourne High School (MHS) is by select entry.

Story

Melbourne High School (MHS) is the only selective State School in Victoria for boys only in Years 9–12. The School continues to maintain its standing as one of the finest schools in Australia and develops the finest thinkers and leaders in Australia.

Melbourne High School traces its history back to 1854 and the establishment of the National Model School. In 1905, the School became the Continuation School and therefore proclaimed itself as the first state secondary school in Victoria. It is a statewide provider of broad academic education for boys in Years 9 to 12. The School has 1365 students, with approximately 340 students in each of four-year levels - year 9, year 10, year 11 and year 12. Admission to the School is by competitive examination with a small discretionary factor. A supplementary intake also takes place in Years 10, 11 and 12. Students are drawn from a very wide cultural and socio-economic background and come largely from the greater metropolitan area of Melbourne and inner country locations. It is this ongoing dynamic cultural mix that has remained a cornerstone of the School's success.

The School is in central Melbourne, in the City of Stonnington, and within the Southern Metropolitan Region of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD).

The School is located close to the Melbourne Central Business District and is impressively situated on a hill overlooking the leafy and attractive district of South Yarra. The School is adjacent to the Yarra River and on the corner of Chapel Street and Alexandra Avenue. It is well serviced by rail, tram and bus transport as well as bicycle paths and major roadways. Its location and the appearance of the spectacular "Castle On The Hill", have given the School a mystique that has added significantly to its ethos and its standing within the community.

I came from india, this was a great tourist attraction, there was a sign on the pool that said something like elctrocusion idk what means but i had a good swim. i only found the female toilets bro common its a boys school. um and i went through the main gates and they gave me a detention um just saying my holiday visa is gonna expire soon someone pls save me from the top of the T building. Also um they wouldnt feed me food from at top floor cas they were scared the rats on the ground floor would smell the tiny scraps and run to the top. Thks canteen aunty, you make better curry than me.
To the male staff member or school teacher who drove a red hatchback car and was shouting at me and my husband at the back entrance booming gate, deeming us for trespassing. We are the parent of one of your students. We just dropped our son off for catching up with his mates at school and were on our way out. You were plain rude. And that should not be the attitude of a Melbourne High staff member. I will not rate 1 star for the school because of an individual like yourself, but I suggest you to be more polite. We may appear younger than being a parents of a high school boy, but mind you to treat everyone with respect. At least I will teach my son basic manners. That was a very disappointing experience. Other than that, my son enjoys his school and friends so far.
This school is pretty good. Most of the teachers are really nice, but some of them are plain rude. There have been a few major incidents in just this year alone, including multiple sexualized comments, however, the teachers blamed it on other issues and tried to hide it, just to preserve their reputation. Also the zest is not zesting.
I did a placement last year at MHS but to say the least, I think this school is pretty overrated as even though the school presents itself as selective, there's nothing really selective about the attitude of the students as pretty much when I was teaching during the five weeks, most of them did not really care about putting in the effort and with some of them I think they should be better off in normal public schools due to their behaviour such as their smart mouths that I experienced some of the time. But what made this placement experience negative for me was my rude, impolite, insolent mentor who said nothing but negative things to me and if she thought that that was a way to help me improve my teaching skills, she was absolutely WRONG! A teacher mentor is someone who guides you to improve your teaching skills, she did absolutely nothing to assist me to grow throughout the weeks I was at the school, she did not go out of her way most of the time to check on me and my lesson plan, did not leave any feedback whatsoever, all she did was berate me and put me down whenever she had the opportunity to which it made me feel worthless and negative!! She was also super insolent that she treated me like a child and like as if I was one of the students by telling me off when I did not intend to turn up late for the preparation of one seminar which I was there early at the school but did not know where to go, had she told me days prior none of this would have ever happened, this is a mentor's job to communicate this and that, I'm not expected to scramble around the school to find certain places, so she failed in that mentoring aspect and when I accidentally missed assembly which made my placement a horribly painful one and one I would rather forget. There were a miniscule amount of students in my class that wanted to learn but all in all most of the students were not putting in the effort and had a teacher mentor who could not care less about helping me to grow as a teacher. I give this school a one of five :
Great school, equips students very well to be independent learners for life. I loved all the extracurricular activities and the focus on academic work. If you attended you know how good it is. If you’re a parent and your child is an ambitious learner it’s thoroughly worthwhile
