Dorrigo High School is a Years 7–12 comprehensive school with an enrolment of 145 students. Located in the hinterland region of the Bellingen Shire, 70kms from Coffs Harbour, the school is supported by a diverse community, a proactive Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) and a close relationship with other schools on the Dorrigo plateau.
The school receives some additional funding based on its Family Occupation and Employment Index (FOEI) of 109 which places the school and its community very near to the state mean of 100. Additional funding is also provided on an index which classifies schools according to their location under the Rural and Remote strategy. The demographics for the next few years indicate that enrolments in the Dorrigo area will decline further. The school has outstanding facilities including a trade training centre and an agricultural plot. The school currently has the capacity to deliver a number of Vocational Courses including construction, metals and engineering, hospitality and primary industries.
All teaching and non–teaching staff is focussed on developing the school's learning culture. Teaching staff and Learning Support officers work collaboratively to improve student learning outcomes. We hold high expectations across the school to support our students to achieve their academic potential.
