Hamilton Secondary College offers learning in all areas of the mandated curriculum, with comprehensive ICT, science and visual arts programs.

Students with disabilities are catered for with individual programs within the purpose-built Disability Unit, called the Flato Centre. The school was established in 1958 as Mitchell Park Boys Technical High School and became co-educational in 1972.

It’s the only course I’m aware of in the whole of Australia.’
