Following it’s opening, the school continued to grow. In 1982, the ECA centre was completed, broadening the capabilities of the school. 2000 saw the name change to Werribee Secondary College officially registered, and was also when the college’s International Student Program first launched. In 2004, a fire at the college destroyed many of the original buildings. Moving forward stronger, in 2006 the college was first accredited with the Council of International Schools (CIS), and in 2009 became the first Victorian Government school to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
