Designated purpose campuses
Designated purpose campuses are supplementary campuses of designated neighbourhood schools (DNSs), that specialise in a specific subject or activity, or support a particular cohort, for example, high-achieving students or students with diverse learning needs.
These campuses are often in a different location to the main campus.
Designated purpose campuses vary in registration type. Some are registered as specific purpose, others as specialist. Their curriculum requirements may also vary, allowing them to focus on specialised subjects or activities. For information on the registration type of designated purpose campuses, search for the applicable school using the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority’s State , and then select ‘view details’ of the relevant campus.
The tables below provide an overview of each category of designated purpose campus, including current campuses within each category.
For information on the location of designated purpose campuses, search for the specific campus using the search function on the Find my website.
