Upwey High School
is a government co-educational Years 7-12 school
located in the Dandenong Ranges, 40 kilometres
east of the city of Melbourne in Victoria,
Australia. It has a magnificent mountain setting
amongst the slopes and mountain ash on the edge
of Sherbrooke Forest.
The school has a student population of
approximately 1200 and consistent enrolments
have resulted in the
employment of new staff and the development of
new facilities. A vocational education authority
with a diverse range of curriculum offerings
from maths, sciences and technology to music,
jewellery and drama, Upwey High School is very
much a school of the future meeting the needs of
young people today!
The
potential fire risks at Upwey High are very high. Above is a short film
composed by Curtis Hill & Alexie Beovich (both Year 11 students) outlining some
of the risks that will confront our community this summer. We are seeking help
to assist with fuel reduction. We are particularly interested in people who
have access to earth moving equipment or just prepared to give some hours. Our
major risk is the embankment between the school oval and the school buildings If
you can assist in any way please contact Mick Sheehy at the school on 9757 0424.
