History
During 1965 the Education Department decided to establish a new secondary school in the Springvale and Noble Park area. A site was reserved and the official name was Heatherhill High School. Mr. N. R. Oxenbould was appointed as the first principal, and the first school assembly had 105 students, three members of staff and one office assistant which was held in the grounds of the Heatherhill State School on 2 February. The school celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006 with a barbecue luncheon for past and present members of the school community. Patrick Boyd became the campus principal upon the school's merger with Keysborough.
