Sydney Secondary College (Blackwattle Bay Campus)
Blackwattle Bay Campus is a government high school in Glebe, New South Wales, Australia. It is the senior campus of Sydney Secondary College. The school was established in 1979 as Glebe High School, with 109 students and 17 staff members, all housed in demountable classrooms. Permanent buildings were built in the early 1980s. In 2002, the school became part of Sydney Secondary College and was renamed Blackwattle Bay Campus.
Since 2005, it is exclusively a senior campus catering for Years 11 and 12. This enables the school to offer one of the largest range of Higher School Certificate courses in Sydney. Unlike the junior campuses, Blackwattle Bay Campus does not have a selective stream and, upon graduating from the junior campuses, selective students are mixed with mainstream students in all classes.
The campus has a sister-school relationship with Malibaca Yamato High School in East Timor, and a volunteer project in community work.
