Rose Bay Secondary College (frequently abbreviated as RBSC) is a co-educational public high school located in the Sydney suburb of Dover Heights, in New South Wales, Australia. The NSW Department of Education & Training established the college as a result of the merger of Dover Heights and Vaucluse high schools.
The catchment includes the South Head Peninsula and Northern area of the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and is roughly bounded by Sydney Harbour to the North, Randwick to the South, Surry Hills to the West and the Pacific Ocean to the East. The college also takes in a number of out of area enrolments, including students from around Sydney who are academically selected and enrolled as members of the college's selective classes. The main feeder schools are Bellevue Hill Public School, Bondi Beach PS, Bondi PS, Bronte PS, Clovelly PS, Double Bay PS, Glenmore Road PS, Paddington PS, Rose Rose PS, Vaucluse PS, Waverley PS and Woollahra PS with a number of students coming from Roman Catholic and Independent primary schools.
The college was established in 2003, following the merger of Dover Heights High School and Vaucluse High School. The college initially operated using both campuses while construction commenced on extending and expanding the buildings and facilities at the former site of Dover Heights High School. The name, "Rose Bay Secondary College" was chosen after community consultation
