Welcome to Warrawong High School
In choosing Warrawong High School you have selected a high quality public school for your child's education and we welcome you into the Warrawong High School community.
Our school context advocates a diverse and dynamic school community that reflects the cultural diversity of contemporary Australia. We proudly house the region’s Intensive English Centre, supporting new arrival and refugee students as they enter our country. We also have one of the largest Special Education Units in the Illawarra and South Coast which supports students with diverse range of disability.
The total student population of Warrawong High School is 608, which include 56% from non-English speaking backgrounds, 11% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 39 nationalities.
Our school vision is student centred:
Warrawong High School is a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where all students are known, valued and cared for. This ethos is underpinned by our values and high expectations. Our students are supported in becoming successful life-long learners who make valuable contributions to school and beyond. We value maintaining positive and respectful relationships while demonstrating empathy for one another. Our expert teachers deliver quality learning experiences that challenge our students’ thinking in a futures learning world. We encourage our students to be environmentally responsible global citizens.
We are committed to our vision through the provision of effective learning in a caring, supportive, co-operative environment. We value the individuality and talents of each student. We seek to develop self-esteem and positive attitudes to ensure that each student is empowered to reach their potential.
I look forward to working with you and your family for many years to come in a successful partnership as we educate and empower our children to have happy and successful lives.
