Moree Secondary College, established in 2002 is a Connected Communities co-educational government high-school located in the town of Moree, in the New South Wales North region of Australia. The school serves for students from Years 7 to 12 on a focus of providing outstanding opportunities for the young people of Moree to achieve excellence. Students interested in academic studies, vocational education, music or drama, creative arts, sport or citizenship can develop their talents at MSC.
History
editThe school has its origins in two separate institutions: Courallie High School, which was located on the Carol Avenue campus, and Moree Technology High School, which was located on the Albert Street campus. Courallie High School had been established in 1971, while Moree Technology High School was originally known as Moree High School which was established in 1961 until it was renamed in 1990.
In 2001, the decision was made to amalgamate the two schools, and on Friday 17th August of that year, work began on the new high-school, Moree Secondary College. Students from both Courallie High School and Moree Technology High School were integrated into the new school, and a ballot was held to choose a new name, motto, and main colours for the school. The winning entry was "Wisdom Through Knowledge", with green chosen as the main school colour. The school's logo, a green book, was also created at this time.
In 2017 the P&C Association of Moree Secondary College had proposed to consolidate the high-school onto a single campus, as the school had used to operate by two campuses, Carol Avenue Junior Campus for 7-9 grades, located in south-west Moree and Albert Street Senior Campus for 10-12 grades located in centre of town. Both campuses used to be separate high-schools before Moree Secondary College was established in 2002.
The student enrolment population numbers of Moree Secondary College were low. Comparing to the former high-schools population in students before 2002 is more higher than today. Teachers and staff had to travel between campuses which was stressful for both students and staff, it was also a expensive duplication of campuses in resources, equipment, infrastructure and maintenance.
By 2022 it was announced that the proposal to consolidate the school to one site was approved, and that the community was given the opportunity to choose which campus would situate Moree Secondary College.
Due to Albert Street Senior Campus being successfully chosen, the Carol Avenue Junior Campus had it’s last day of operation on 8th of December 2023, as all students were transitioned and integrated onto Albert Street the first term of 2024.
