Cranbourne High School Originals Reunion

Fifty years ago, our College welcomed its first 240 students across two year levels, marking the beginning of what would become a remarkable educational journey within this community.

This original newspaper article, presented here in full, captures the excitement and optimism surrounding the opening of a new school in the district.

Over the decades, we have built strong traditions and enduring partnerships that continue to shape who we are today. As we begin this anniversary year, we do so with the same enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication to excellence that have always defined our College and for which we are proudly renowned.

Next Wednesday, our entire school community will gather on the oval to form the number 50 as we celebrate 50 years of Cranbourne Secondary College in the district.

This special moment will be captured by drone photography, and the images will feature throughout the year as part of our Golden Anniversary celebrations.

We are incredibly proud of this milestone and look forward to the many events planned across 2026 to honour five decades of providing quality educational outcomes for our students, while continuing to live our values of Community, Learning, Care and Contribution.

Here’s to celebrating our past and looking confidently to our future.

It is time to party like it's 1976! Yes it's originals reunion year. Have we still got it in our 60's? Who wants to find out? Details coming soon!

All the best for the Cranbourne High 40th Year celebration this week end. Hope many of the originals get along to remember a wonderful time in our lives.
