[edit] The College
Forest Hill College is divided into 2 sub-schools, Junior (Year 7-9), and Senior (Year 10-12), with a courtyard for Year 7-9, a courtyard for Year 10, and another courtyard for VCE Year 11-12. Sub-school teams are assisted in their welfare roles by a Student Wellbeing Coordinator, part-time Adolescent Health Nurse and Home Group Teachers. As of 2006, the school has approximately 750 enrolments with up to 50 full-fee paying International Students. The school's enrolment has been in decline from an approximate figure of 800-1000 due to the reduction in the number of enrolments from feeder schools, however, enrolment figures have been steadily increasing again over the past few years.
