Western Heights College is a co-educational secondary school in Geelong, Australia. It currently has two campuses, Junior Years Campus (formerly Minerva campus) for years 7, 8 and 9 and Senior Years Campus (formerly Quamby Campus) for years 10, 11 and 12, located in the suburbs of Herne Hill, Hamlyn Heights respectively. The school was created from the merger of three existing secondary schools - Geelong West Technical School (Minerva Road) and Bell Park High School.[1]

In 2011, the school began relocating to a single site on Vines Road, on the site of the Department of Human Services Barwon South Western Regional Office, which had once been the site of the Geelong Teachers College. The Barton campus will close at the end of the 2008, with completion of stage one will allow Years 7 to 9 to start school at the new site at the beginning of July, 2011.[2]
