School Philosophy
History
When General Macarthur and his accomping US Army took over Melbourne High in 1941 as their barracks, the Melbourne High students moved out to Camberwell to continue their education during the war years. At the end of the war in 1945 when the US troops left and the Melbourne student returned to their school, Camberwell High was opened
Principals
Houses
Interhouse competitions remain an integral part of the school's ethos.
The four Houses with their associated colours are:
- Macarthur (Green)
- Roosevelt (Blue)
- Churchill (Yellow)
- Montgomery (Red)
The names for the houses were derived from war heroes and leaders of World War II. As Camberwell High School was opened in 1945 after the completion of the war, the houses were named after the leaders of the United States and the United Kingdom as well as the US and British Generals.
