Join us in writing the next chapter

As we prepare to celebrate our centenary in 2027, Melbourne High School is undertaking a bold new chapter—modernising facilities, enriching learning experiences, and honouring our heritage. We’re inviting our community—past and present—to support three key projects in 2025.

Swimming Pool Upgrades

For over 30 years, our pool has helped generations of students build essential water safety skills and achieve sporting excellence. Its born legends in swimming and water polo. With the heater now requiring urgent replacement, your support will help us complete vital upgrades and keep this core facility thriving.

Restoring the Historic Front Doors

Installed in 1927, our iconic main entrance has welcomed thousands of students and visitors. Now in urgent need of restoration, this Centenary Project will ensure the doors remain a proud symbol of our school’s legacy.

Artists, Writers & Entrepreneurs in Residence

We’re launching a new initiative to bring inspiring thinkers—from historians and scientists to artists and innovators—into the classroom. This program will also revive beloved events like the Ben Munday History Lecture and John Eccles Science Lecture.

Every gift makes a difference
