History

Viewbank College was founded on the site of Rosanna East High School in 1994. It was the result of a merger between Rosanna East High School and Banyule High School because of decreasing enrollments in both schools. In 1993 talks were held between the schools about a merger and in January 1994 the Viewbank College as a school had begun. Later on November 6, 1996, the opening was made official by Honorable Richard McGarvie who was the Governor of Victoria at the time. The school celebrated the 10th anniversary of Viewbank College in 2004.
