History

During the 1950s the department of Education bought land from a company called Bankstown Pipe Works. The land was formerly a brick pit.

  • From 1963 to 1964, the school operated as Bankstown Junior Boys High school and was located at Central Bankstown on Restwell Street in 'portable' accommodation. It shared a playground with Bankstown Boys Primary.
  • From 1965 to 1990, the school was known as Bankstown Boys High School. It was located on part of the old pit site at the Eldridge Road End in a purpose built school.
  • From 1990 to 1991, there was a brief transitional period where the school went by the name of Bankstown Community High School.

    • The school's current status as a co-educational senior college has been in place since 1991 to this present day.
