Info
Mackellar Girls Campus is a public, girls-only high school for students years 7–12 in Manly Vale, New South Wales, Australia. It is a part of the Northern Beaches Secondary College, a five-campus college across Sydney's Northern Beaches, formed in 2003. It is generally considered to be the 'sister school' to Balgowlah Boys Campus, another school within the college.
It was formerly known as Manly Vale High School, and then became Mackellar Girls High School until 2003 when it gained its current name after the famous Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar. Under the name Manly Vale High School, the school was believed to have been reinvented as a girls Home Economics school in 1967 upon the thought of creating strong and diligent girls to enter the work-force. The exact history of Mackellar as a school is not well-known, but it is believed to have been a school prior to 1967, rather as a co-ed school.
It was ranked as the third top comprehensive girls' school in New South Wales in 2015. It was 116th in the state HSC rankings in 2015.
