It is named after George Bass, the explorer. The school is in the Bankstown District of the New South Wales Department of Education and Training. It is unique among government schools in this district as it has a farm and offers agriculture as a course of study.[ citation needed ]

Student body

In the 1980s, a large percentage of the school's students were from Greek and Italian backgrounds. During the 1990s, students from Asia and the Middle East were more common. The multicultural nature of the school has meant that it has often promoted multicultural ideals and concepts.

The number of students attending the school has varied since it opened. It started off with several hundred students and peaked during the late 1980s with over a thousand students. Since that time the numbers attending have decreased.
