Barrenjoey High School
Encyclopedia
Barrenjoey High School is a co-educational high school located in the Sydney
suburb of Avalon
, in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia
. The campus backs onto the Northern end of Avalon Beach.
The first student intake was in 1968 with a single grade (known at the time as 'Form 1') which formally graduated from the school in 1973. Over ensuing years, the school has grown in enrolments to its current level, necessitating expansion of the campus and construction of additional facilities.
Barrenjoey's feeder primary schools include Avalon Public School, Bilgola Plateau Public School and others in the local area.
There appears to be a trend towards increasing achievement at the school, with the class of 2008 achieving 150 Band 6 results in a range of subjects.
