<i>Heartbreak High</i> television series

Heartbreak High is an Australian television program that ran for six years, through seven seasons from 1994 to 1999 on both Network Ten and ABC. The programme dealt with the students of the fictional Hartley High, a tough high school in a multiracial area of Sydney, and proved to be a more gritty and fast-paced show than many of its contemporaries. It was a spin-off of the 1993 Australian feature film The Heartbreak Kid which had featured Alex Dimitriades and Claudia Karvan. However, in later series the show shifted emphasis away from the school setting and the Poulos family to the students' homes and hangout - the Shark Pool.

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.
