It was renamed Greensborough College when the former high school campus was closed in 1992. It is currently a co-educational school.

Students complete core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, Physical Education, Humanities, Pastoral Care (CONNECT), Health and are introduced to subjects in Music, STEM, Drama, Studio Arts, Media, Visual Communication and Design, Italian, Automotive, Woodwork and Food Technology.
