- Brisbane Waters Secondary College
Brisbane Water Secondary College is a secondary high school located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
Campuses
Before Brisbane Water Secondary College was founded, the two campuses were two totally different high schools. One located at Umina (Umina High School) and one at Woy Woy (Woy Woy High School). Both schools accommodated for years 7 to 12. After several meetings between the schools, they decided they would merge to become a college as the schools were within 2 kilometres of each other. Many students and faculty members disagreed with this merge.
It was then in 2001 that the two schools combined to make Brisbane Waters Secondary College. In 2007 the College was officially opened by the Minister for Education, Carmel Tebbutt.
The Umina High School became Brisbane Water Secondary College - Umina Campus, for students in years 7 to 9. Woy Woy High became Brisbane Water Secondary College - Senior Campus, for students in years 10 to 12.
The Umina Campus has a large Agriculture Farm used for teaching, the cattle and other animals has won many awards.Mr Geoff Spence and Mr David Drury are the two Agriculture teachers. Mr Drury replaced Mr Mark Fisher, who left at the end of 2007, but Mr Fisher may return in 2009.
The Brisbane Water Secondary College is one of only 3 colleges in New South Wales and one of only a few in the continent. Many other schools, mainly government run schools, have recently begun to merge to become colleges, using Brisbane Water Secondary College as its prime example.
The current principal of Umina campus is Mr. Frank Gasper.
The current principal of Woy Woy campus is Mrs. Pamela McAlistair.
Mr Pat Lewis retired at the end of 2007 and Mr Steve Harris was appointed early in 2008.
