Ruthven College (Ruthven Primary School and Ruthven Secondary College) will be a co-educational, Prep to Year Twelve school with 3 campuses. The Ruthven Primary Campuses will be located at Glasgow Avenue and Merrilands Road, and the Secondary, Lakeside Campus at Radford Road and the Merrilands Campus at Merrilands Road Reservoir, Melbourne, Australia. The College will be formed from the merger of Lakeside Secondary College, Merrilands College, and Ruthven College in 2010. In the near future, a brand new school will be built on the Merrilands site, where all 3 campuses will combine to form 1 whole campus. The Regional Director, on behalf of the Department of Education, has determined: - The mergers of the three current schools into the two new schools will come into place on 1 January 2010. - The schools will remain on the current sites in 2010 as campuses of the new schools. - There will be two interim school councils in place on that date - a council for the primary school and a council for the secondary school. The members will be drawn from the existing councils while others will be nominated. - The interim councils will be responsible for all the major tasks required to establish the two new schools. - From 1 January 2010 the current school councils will become campus committees and manage local issues for the first part of the year.
