Blackwattle Bay Campus 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.

2005, Blackwattle Bay Campus is exclusively a senior campus catering for Years 11 and 12. This enables the school to offer one of the largest range of HSC 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.

Sports

The school has sports that are compulsory for all year 11 students, including rowing which can be done in the morning or afternoon. Blackwattle Bay is on the waterfront, and accordingly offers both rowing and kayaking as sporting options, a unique feature of the sporting curriculum that sets it apart from other urban Sydney high schools. A wide range of sports are available at Blackwattle Bay Campus. A student has the choice to participate in badminton, soccer, basketball, netball, baseball, football, table tennis, fitness walking, tennis, rockclimbing, swimming or softball.

History

Prior to 2002, Blackwattle Bay Campus was known as Glebe High School and held classes for students from Year 7 through to Year 12.
