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.[6]
In 2017 a fire destroyed the college's woodwork block.[7]
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.[8]
