History
Brisbane Water Secondary College is a public high school that was created in 2002 by the merging of Umina High School and Woy Woy High School. Both former high schools now constitute the two campuses of the Secondary College. The Umina Campus, located along Veron Road, Umina Beach, caters for Middle School students from Years 7 to 9 and the Woy Woy Campus, located along Edward Street, Woy Woy, caters for Senior School students from Years 10 to 12.[3]
Facilities
From 2011 the Umina Campus has established a dedicated selective Creative and Performing Arts class for years 7 and 8 as part of an ongoing rejuvenation of its CAPA program. The college has continued to enjoy triumphs in the Arts, and is frequently involved in such Arts programs as Central Vision,[4] Schools Spectacular,[5] Starstruck[6] and the Kool Skools recording project, which the campus has won a record four times since its inception.[7]
