Gymea Technology High School (abbreviated as GTHS) is a technology-oriented, public and co-educational high school, located on the Princes Highway in the suburb of Gymea, in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, next to Gymea TAFE.
Gymea Technology High School achieves average marks in the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC). It has been recognised as a school in technology by the New South Wales Department of Education and Apple Inc. Gymea Technology High School also performs adequately in many other academic activities, such as public speaking, debating, sport and UNSW school competitions. Gymea THS was opened in 1963 and has been a technology-oriented secondary school since it first opened.




School site



More than half the area of the school site is devoted to playing fields and tennis courts as well as other outdoor areas for use by students. A school canteen is provided for students to use before school, during recess and at lunch.
Renovations in 2007 saw the surface of the quadrangle resurfaced and other facilities improved, with shaded areas for students to sit during the summer months and open areas for ball games such as handball as well as soccer, football, and basketball. In 2010, the remodeling and updating of all science labs were completed and in 2011 a modern commercial-grade kitchen was installed for hospitality students. In 2016, the school finished a revamp of their technology facilities, combining the previously scattered computer labs into one central location. In 2022, the school implemented table tennis courts for sports students and recreational use.




Controversies


In 2017, two students were admitted to the hospital after drug incidents at Gymea Technology High School. The two students were only admitted a few weeks from each other; the first occurring on 17 February, and the second occurring on 2 March. A parent was seeking answers for the school's alleged failure to follow standard procedure, neglecting police involvement.
