History

Sefton High School received its first students on 30 January 1961. It was at first planned as "Chester Hill High School". The plan was changed, however, and eventually a separate, non-selective school was established in the nearby suburb of Chester Hill. From the beginning, Sefton High School featured a large diversity in the origin of its students.

Campus

The school grounds cover almost an entire block along Hector Street. In addition, there is a hall/gymnasium, an industrial arts building, a canteen and 6 major classroom blocks. In 2005 a new building was opened. It contains a Library, including a computer room and a multi-media room, four classrooms and an administration area.

In addition to the gymnasium, sports facilities include outdoor basketball courts, a football field, netball courts, volleyball courts and various playing areas.
