The revitalised Dandenong High School takes an innovative approach to teaching and learning, adapts well to educational and technological changes, and caters for all students in its new state-of-the-art, world-class learning centres. Stages 1 and 2 of the Dandenong Education Precinct Project have been completed as of 2011, whilst $10 million has been approved for a part of the final stage of work, Stage 3.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“I’ll walk, but not in old heroic traces,
And not in paths of high morality,
And not among the half-distinguished faces,
The clouded forms of long-past history.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
“I seemed intent on making it as difficult for myself as possible to pursue my “male” career goal. I not only procrastinated endlessly, submitting my medical school application at the very last minute, but continued to crave a conventional female role even as I moved ahead with my “male” pursuits.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
