Ballarat Secondary College is a multi-campus college, formed in 1994 through the amalgamation of three existing secondary Colleges, Ballarat East Secondary College (formerly Ballarat East High School), Wendouree Secondary College (formerly Wendouree High Technical School) and Midlands Secondary College (formerly Ballarat North Technical School).

It has a senior campus, Barkly, located in Barkly Street, Ballarat, close to Bakery Hill. This campus has students in Year 11 and 12, and offers a wide range of subjects in VCE, VET and VCAL. The campus was opened in 1996 after a $5,000,000 renovation to several pre-existing buildings including the original Ballarat East Library, and the former Ballarat Girls High School. The grounds of the campus include the original Ballarat East Botanical Gardens.
The Wendouree campus is in the original Wendouree High Technical School (later Wendouree Secondary College) built in 1978, at the corner of Forest Street and Giot Drive, Wendouree. This large campus has students from Years 7-10.
The East campus is on the site of the original Ballarat East High School (later Ballarat East Secondary College) at the corner of Victoria Street and Fussell Streets, Ballarat East. Many of the original buildings were demolished in 2008. The office and administration area opened in July 2008, and a new classroom wing opened in June 2009. This small campus also takes students from Years 7-10.
A fourth campus is called Link Up, which is based in the Ballarat Learning Exchange in Camp Street, Ballarat. This is an alternative school, based on individual learning plans, designed for students who have dropped out of normal schooling.
