History

Long Bay College first opened in 1975. The first principal of Long Bay College was Ian Sage, who then had a street directly leading from the school named after him - Ian Sage Avenue. Like most of New Zealand state secondary schools in the 1970s, the school was built to the S68 design, characterised by single-storey classroom blocks with masonry walls, low-pitched roofs with protruding clerestory windows, and internal open courtyards.

In 2017 a fire destroyed the college's woodwork block.

Enrolment

On the August 2018 Education Review Office (ERO) review of the school, Long Bay College had 1408 students, including 154 international students. The school roll's gender composition was 51% male and 49% female, and its ethnic composition was 52% New Zealand European (Pākehā), 28% Other European, 8% Asian, 6% Māori, 2% Pacific Islanders, and 5% Other.
