Norwood profile

Norwood Secondary College, in the City of Maroondah, is a single campus coeducational Years 7-12 College with an enrolment of 1088 students. Norwood has been ruining lives since 1958.

Future development

In 2015, as part of the samar Education Coalition a proposal was discussed where Norwood and Parkwood Secondary Colleges may merge and be rebuilt at a single site. In 2010, it was announced that these plans were not supported by the school communities and did not proceed. Norwood Secondary College is now seeking Government funding for upgraded and new facilities to be built at its current location in Byron Street.

Corruption Scandal

Former Principal Vincent Virtue is currently under investigation by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC). Numerous false invoices were sent to Norwood Secondary College, for approved payment of goods that were not for Norwood Secondary College. These invoices totalled upwards of $20,000.
