Werribee Secondary College - Campus

Campus

Until recently, the college's facilities had been very poor. Following the 2004 fire, over 70% of classes were situated in portable classrooms. In 2005, the College received funding from the Department of Education for an extension (called the Shirley Cameron Centre) of the College's "Eca-Centre" (gymnasium and auditorium) which contained two food technology classrooms, two health classrooms, a canteen and a toilet block as well as new Music Centre. The construction of a new art and technology wing (called the Raymond Findlay Centre) was completed in 2007. A new school library, staff resource centre, administration wing as well as an extension to current school auditorium were completed in 2009. The construction of a science block and general purpose classroom block is currently being undertaken.

The college has access to two playing ovals; College Oval and Soldier's Reserve. College Oval is owned and maintained by the college and is used for purely recreational purposes. Soldier's Reserve is maintained by Wyndham City Council and is used for any sporting purposes including interschool cricket, Australian rules football, rugby and soccer. The college's gymnasium located next to the Shirley Cameron Centre is used for basketball, netball and volleyball. Basketball courts are located adjacent to the College Oval.

In early 2011 the school successfully finished building a Language Centre and Science centre under government funding. The whole building holds about 12 rooms, 4 Science rooms, a ICT room, 1 Science laboratory and office at ground level. On second floor there are 5 LOTE rooms and one LOTE office. The Language building and facilities are frequently used for exchange students from China and Japan.
