Northcote High School is a co-educational, state secondary school in Northcote, Victoria, Australia. It is situated at the southern end of the City of Darebin, on St Georges Road, Northcote. The school teaches from Years 7 to 12 and has a population of approximately 1,600 students.〔 Northcote High has a large music and science program, and has been recognised as a significant leader in the use of learning technologies in the classroom.〔Gary Israel, Itiel Bereson, Robert Bridges and Hector Gallagher (2010) ''The Green, The Purple and the Gold. A History of Northcote High School.'' pps 264-313. Published by Northcote High School, Northcote, Victoria, Australia. ISBN 978-0-646-54341-3〕 == History == Northcote High School was established in 1926 as a co-educational secondary school, one of the first six to be established in Melbourne by the Victorian Government. The school owes its establishment largely to agitation led by John Cain (senior), Northcote City Councillor and later Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly for Jika Jika, with support from the Principals of nearby Wales Street Primary School and Northcote Primary School. Cain's repeated efforts to establish a school to provide secondary education for the then predominantly working class suburb of Northcote were finally successful, despite an environment of opposition from conservative politicians and independent principals.〔Gary Israel, et al (2010) pps 20-26〕 Although Northcote High School was established as a coeducational school, it became a boy's school after 1928 when Preston Girls High School was established.〔Gary Israel, et al (2010) p.46-47〕 In the 1980s Northcote High School again began to enrol girls in response to community pressure, officially moving to coeducation in 1989.〔Gary Israel et al (2010) p.234-228〕 In 2012 there were approximately 840 boys and 710 girls enrolled.〔 The school has a strong connection to the inner northern Melbourne suburbs of Fitzroy North, Clifton Hill, Brunswick East, Northcote, Thornbury, Fairfield, Preston and Reservoir with many of its students attending the school as their parents once did. A feature of Northcote High School is the number of staff who are former students (including two former School Captains) and others who have their own children at the school. Northcote High School first offered a limited Maths and Science Matriculation (final year certificate) in the 1940s. Principal Alex Sutherland expanded Matriculation in the 1950s to include most subjects on the curriculum.〔Gary Israel et al (2010) P.123-4〕 The school continues this tradition today with a very broad range of Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) subjects on offer, including a relatively wide range of humanities subjects. Northcote High School celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2006. It remains one of very few Victorian government secondary schools that has not significantly changed its identity through closure, reorganisation or amalgamation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Northcote High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
