Williamstown High School has been a model school for environmental education since 2005 and has been awarded five green stars by the Green Building Council of Australia for its sustainable and smart design. This attention to the environment is also reflected in the curriculum. Led by a marine biologist, the Jawbone Marine Sanctuary is located behind the school and plays an important role in the school’s marine education curriculum.
Established on the Bayview Campus, the Marine Education Centre has developed into a recognized center of excellence for marine education in its more than twenty years of existence and offers further education opportunities to teachers and students throughout Victoria.
