Donald High School

What Donald High School does

Donald High School is a public government secondary school located in Donald, Victoria, Australia, at 2-16 Camp Street. Founded in 1962 and operating under the motto "Play The Game," the school delivers secondary education to students in Years 7 through 12 and has provided continuous instruction for over 62 years. It serves families and students across the Donald region of rural Victoria, preparing them for tertiary education, vocational pathways, or direct workforce entry.

The school's core academic offering is split between the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) program — covering over 90 subjects delivered via video conferencing for Years 11 and 12 — and the Vocational Major (VOM) pathway, an applied alternative involving work placements, school-based apprenticeships, and one-day-per-week attendance at partner institution Charlton College for VET subjects. Year 7-10 students follow a standard curriculum covering English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, Art, Physical Education, Information Technology, and Cultural Studies. The school is a single-campus institution with no subsidiaries or parent corporate structure.

Technically, the school operates a Moodle-based learning management system (DHS Moodle, built on the Open LMS platform) for digital course delivery across all year levels, and uses the XUNO mobile application (iOS/Android) for parent communication and student information access. Complementary integrations include Wellio (mental wellbeing resources), PiP-Ed (school attendance support, developed by Monash and Deakin Universities), and Career Tools (career pathway exploration). The school's business model is non-commercial: it charges no tuition fees and is funded entirely by the Victorian Department of Education through public education allocation, with no evidence of private ownership, external investment, or commercial revenue streams.
