Ballina High School in New South Wales, Australia, was established in 1956. This was the first high school in Ballina to be opened. It was announced in February 2015 that 7-12 students at Ballina High School and Southern Cross K-12 would combine to form the $40 million super school "Ballina Coast High School". New school and community facilities will be built on the existing Ballina High School site and will be completed to commence the 2019 school year. Southern Cross will continue to cater for students in years K to 6 and support units and will be the site for all distance education in Ballina. In 2017 demolition of Ballina High began and the remaining students in 8-12 were moved to the Southern Cross campus along with the first year of year 7 to begin the formation of Ballina Coast High School.
