The University High School continues to have a dynamic, forward thinking and progressive partnership with DEECD, The University of Melbourne and Bio 21 Institute. The University High School was a year 9 to 12 co-educational select entry school for many years until 1971 where it became and remains today a local neighbourhood year 7 to 12 high school. Over the years, the school has naturally evolved and it became the co-educational select entry school to compliment the select entry boys and girl’s schools in Victoria. The most suitable available site was the old Horse Market site in Story Street. With overcrowding and a view of very unsatisfactory conditions under which the teachers of science were being trained, the Principal, Mr Sharman proposed a new and larger building be constructed within close proximity to the University. The special purpose of this school was to provide a place where undergraduates of the recently established Diploma of Education course at Melbourne University could observe good science teaching and practise their own skills. Partnerships and Professional Development The University High School story dates back to 1910, when The University Practising School opened in a former primary school at the corner of Lygon and Lytton Streets in Carlton.
