Figtree High School

Figtree High School is a government-funded co-educational comprehensive secondary day school, located on Gibsons Road in Figtree, a suburb of Wollongong, in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1969, the school enrolled approximately 900 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom five percent identified as Indigenous Australians and 26 percent were from a language background other than English.

Construction finally finished in July 1969, being announced "Australia's most modern high school" by the local newspaper,[3] and students re-located back to their new building in Gibsons Road.

But in 1987, after a significant storm, the tree was terminally damaged and was removed as a safety precaution.
