History
Newcastle High School, which began in 1976, is the last of three schools that shared a similar and sometimes common history:
- The School on The Hill—established 1906
- Newcastle Girls' High School—an academically selective girls-only high school which began its separate existence (from "The Hill") in 1929 at Hamilton
- Newcastle Boys' High School—an academically selective boys-only high school which moved to Waratah in 1934
The school occupies the campuses previously occupied by two girls' high schools: Hunter Girls' High School and Newcastle Girls' High School. The campus of Newcastle Boys' High School became non-selective and co-educational in 1977 and changed its name to Waratah High School that same year. Later it became Waratah Technology High School then Callaghan College Waratah Technology Campus.
