Hurstville High School

Hurstville High School is the local High School for the Central Hurstville area.

History
The High School was founded by John Olgrain in 1860. The school was originally located in a large building next to Glasshouse Central Station.

In 1892, part of the HHS Building collapsed. The building was hastily built and was now no longer usable.

Construction for a new campus in Tredmel began in September 1892, and it was finished in late 1895.

In 1912, the school was set fire by vandals during school hours. Around 30 students died and strict fire safety regulations are still in place today following the accident.

In 1925, the school decided to build a new campus. The Tredmel campus had been badly damaged by fire and many parts of the school had collapsed following the accident.

The new campus began construction in late 1925 and was completed in 1928. It was located quite a distance from the centre of the city, which caused an uproar amongst students and parents. The new campus opened at Northmarch in early 1929.
