Western Heights College is a co-educational secondary school in Geelong, Australia. It currently[when?] has two campuses, Junior Years Campus (formerly Minerva campus) for years 7, 8 and 9 and Senior Years Campus (formerly Quamby Campus) for years 10, 11 and 12, located in the suburbs of Herne Hill, Hamlyn Heights respectively. The school was created from the merger of three existing secondary schools - Geelong West Technical School (Minerva Road) and Bell Park Technical School.[1]
The school's 2011 principal is Ms Ruth Sellens. Mrs Marlene Baker is its business manager and Ms Tami O'Hare is the schools associate principal. Junior Years Campus' principal, Mr Mark Russell, was the principal of the Barton Campus before relocating to the associate principal's role, and then on to the Junior Year Campus' principal. Mr Mike Bowtell is the principal of the Senior Years Campus. He also has held the associate principal's role, and was the principal of Minerva Campus before 1996. The Campus managers of the Junior Years Campus and the Senior Years Campus are Ms Miriam Day and Ms Kerrie Maloney respectively.[2]
In 2011, the school began relocating to a single site on Vines Road, on the site of the Department of Human Services Barwon South Western Regional Office, which had once been the site of the Geelong Teachers College. The Barton campus will close at the end of the 2008, with completion of stage one will allow Years 7 to 9 to start school at the new site at the beginning of July, 2011.[3]
