Gisborne Secondary College
Gisborne Secondary College is a co-educational secondary school located in Gisborne, Victoria, established in 1981. The current enrolment is 1071[2] students. Students attend from years seven to twelve. The college serves a large proportion of the southern Macedon Ranges district in Victoria, with over 800 students attending school via school bus. The College has a large range of subject offerings, including electives from Year 9 onwards, and at the Senior School, VCE, VCE-VM, and VET programs.
Learning centres
Students in years 7 and 8 are educated in two learning centres. Students attend their core classes in the learning centres, but use specialist classrooms for technology, health and physical education, music, drama and some science classes. Each learning centre has a leader (Coordinator) and a core group of teachers who each teach half of the students in their specialist subject area.
Senior school
The senior school starts in year 10, and students can elect to study through a number of pathways to reach a senior school qualification. Students study towards the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), as well as Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) programs and School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships.
The VCE, which is the main secondary student assessment program in Victoria, ranks students with an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for university entrance purposes.

- First Place – 2011 – Melbourne Raw Division grand final results
