Overview

The school was the first state secondary school established in Wagga Wagga, and is currently the oldest still operating. Wagga Wagga High School was originally located on Gurwood Street, closer to the CBD. It moved to its current site in 1917, and now serves five feeder primary schools in Wagga Wagga and the surrounding region.[1][4]
