Mornington Secondary College is a secondary school inMornington, Victoria,Australia serving the communities ofSomerville,Tyabb,Moorooduc,Mount Martha, and Mornington on theMornington Peninsula.
Mornington Secondary College was established in 1993 as a dual-campus institution after a merger of Mornington Technical School and Mornington High School. The latter institution opened in 1956 in a temporary location, before moving to a new building on the corner ofNepean Highway and Wilsons Road the next year. In 1999, the two campuses were consolidated into the old Mornington Technical School; the old Mornington High School site, which by then was the junior campus, was closed and its buildings were then demolished.[3]
