The school was originally opened as South Sydney Boys Junior High School but was upgraded to be South Sydney Boys High School in 1957. A further decision to make the school co-educational and transfer the school name to the Junior Technical High School also in Maroubra led to the name change to Maroubra Bay High School from January 1959.[4]
The future professional golfer Vic Bennetts attended the school in the 1950s.[5][6]
