Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Wagga Wagga High School, proudly known as ‘the high school on the hill’. As the city’s longest-standing government high school, we offer a rich history and a strong commitment to preparing students for the future with a focus on learning, community values, and 21st-century skills.

Our school provides a broad curriculum for Years 7-12 and a wide range of extracurricular programs in academics, sports, music, cultural activities, and community service. We celebrate student achievements and encourage all to strive for personal excellence through our motto, ‘success through self-discipline.’

We value strong partnerships with parents, primary schools, and the wider community, embracing a diverse student body as a key strength.

At Wagga Wagga High, students are supported to engage, challenge themselves, and enjoy a vibrant school experience.

I am proud to lead Wagga Wagga High School and am confident that your child will greatly benefit from being part of our school community.
