Gladstone Park Secondary College is a public state school in Melbourne, Australia founded in 1974.

The school has around More than 1600 students, a figure which has remained roughly constant for over a decade. When it first opened, Gladstone Park Secondary School (GPSC) quickly became the largest school in terms of matriculated students within a 10 km radius, a position which it still holds today.^{[citation needed]}
