Newcastle High School is a state run high school located in Newcastle West—a suburb of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia–with an enrolment of approximately 1,000 students.[2]
As a secondary school in New South Wales, the school teaches Year 7 to Year 12 students in accordance with the state government's education curriculum, as determined by the Board of Studies. At the end of year 12, successful students are accredited with their Higher School Certificate (HSC).
History
Newcastle High School, which began in 1976, is the last of three schools that shared a similar and sometimes common history:
- The School on The Hill—established 1906
- Newcastle Girls' High School—an academically selective girls-only high school which began its separate existence (from "The Hill") in 1929 at Hamilton
- Newcastle Boys' High School—an academically selective boys-only high school which moved to Waratah in 1934
The school occupies the campuses previously occupied by two girls' high schools: Hunter Girls' High School and Newcastle Girls' High School. The campus of Newcastle Boys' High School became non-selective and co-educational in 1977 and changed its name to Waratah High School that same year. Later it became Waratah Technology High School then Callaghan College Waratah Technology Campus.
