Manly Selective Campus is a selective government high school for students in years 7 to 12 located in North Curl Curl, New South Wales, Australia. It is a part of the Northern Beaches Secondary College, a 5 campus college across Sydney's Northern Beaches, formed in 2003. Admission to this campus is based entirely on academic excellence through the Selective High Schools Test.

Manly Selective Campus tops the Northern Beaches on Merit List Rankings in the HSC, and came 15th in the state in 2009.[2]

The graduating year of 2010 is currently the highest achieving cohort on record, achieving a ranking of 7th overall as compared with other NSW state and non- government schools. This peer group is the first ever to place Manly in the top 10 and also the first to overtake North Sydney Boys High School.[3]

History

Manly Selective Campus has a long history after being founded in 1859 as Manly Public School, on the corner of Belgrave and Carlton Streets in Manly. In 1882 it was moved to a site in Darley Road, where it operated until 1945, and is the site of the current Manly Village Public School.

1925 saw the school become an Intermediate High School, and became solely a boys school from 1926. The school expanded rapidly, and became Manly Junior High in 1944. In 1945, the school moved to the site of the current Balgowlah Boys Campus, and in 1949 had expanded to include senior years.

In 1954 student numbers reached 1200, and the bulk of these students moved to the current site on Abbott Road in North Curl Curl as Manly Boys High School. The school became co-educational in 1983 and was renamed Manly High School, at the same time as the nearby Manly Girls High also became co-educational and was renamed Freshwater High. Manly High was granted selective status in 1990, and was incorporated into the Northern Beaches Secondary College at its founding and given its current name in 2002.[4]

Students and staff

Manly Selective Campus has a student population of 763 students. There are around 120 students in each grade from 7 to 12, with approximately 60 staff members across 11 different faculties within the school. Year 9 is the largest grade in the school, with around 130 students.

Grounds

Manly Selective Campus' oval and remnant bushland area.

One of the prominent images associated with Manly Selective Campus are the stands of Radiata Pines planted around the school, giving name to the school's yearbook, The Pines and the newsletter, The Weekly Pines. Some of these pines have created a problem in a 7,010 m² area of remnant bushland that lies on the school's property on a steep hill behind the school oval. Seedlings of the original pines grew up in the bushland after more of the radiata pines were planted in close proximity to the bushland in 1954. This bushland is some of the last remaining native Sandstone Heath east of Pittwater Road in Warringah, however sections of it are highly degraded by weeds such as lantana and asparagus fern. In recent years there has been an increasing effort to rehabilitate the heath back to pre-European quality, and in late 2006 many of the pine trees which had seeded in the bushland were removed.
