Eumemmerring College is an Australian former co-educational government school with multiple campuses, and was Victoria's largest government secondary college, and 3rd largest school in Australia.
The college opened as the Hallam High School in February 1971, with only ninety students and five teachers. In 1990, a second campus of the school was established at Fountain Gate, and the name Eumemmerring was chosen for both campuses (named for the creek draining the area occupied by the school). The college also consisted of two campuses in Endeavour Hills; Gleneagles and Endeavour Hills.[1]
In 2008, the decision was made to disaggregate Eumemmerring College into four separate secondary schools, effective as of the 2009 school year.[1] In 2022, Hallam Senior College will close and a new school encompassing a year 7-12 curriculum will be on the site under a new name.[2]
