Sydney Secondary College is a group of schools in Sydney's inner west. It comprises three campuses:

The college was formed in 2002 after a plan for revitalisation of public education in the inner city was introduced. Facilities across the three campuses were renovated.

Staring from 2005, Leichhardt and Balmain became junior campuses(years 7-10) with an emphasis on middle schooling. Blackwattle Bay (formerly Glebe High School), became the specialist senior campus(11-12), being able to offer one of the widest curriculum choices in Sydney.

The College is highly diverse. There is a mix of selective, mainstream and support students at each campus. The college draws students from all across sydney and across many different cultural backgrounds.

Balmain and Blackwattle are both on the waterfront. This allows the college to offer rowing, dragonboat racing and kayaking as extra-curricular activities.

Leichhardt, while formerly the smallest school in NSW (in terms of area) is now expanding with a sporting oval to be completed by March 2007, at a cost of AU$6 million.
