The high school was built in the early 1990s for the residents of Mill Park, however due to population growth, a Senior campus was established around 1997 for students entering the years of 10, 11 and 12. In the current day, Mill Park Secondary College has approximately 1,820 students.
Education[edit]
The school provides many levels of education ranging from a S.E.A.L. (select entry accelerated learning program) program to an "Extension" program (an advanced class that provides higher education to children who are not eligible for S.E.A.L. but are too advanced for mainstream) and Main Stream (normal classes for the standard of students).[2] Other than SEAL, the school provides S.T.E.M. which is also known as Accelerated Science and Accelerated English.[3]
Of students who left the school at the end of 2010 at least 98% of students found employment, while 100% of students went on to further education.[citation needed]
