Ingleburn High School is a co–educational comprehensive high school in South Western Sydney which services the needs and aspirations of a diverse multi–cultural urban population. The school enrolment is currently at 630, including 49 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, 40% of the school population being from a non–English speaking background and 30% Pacific Islanders.
The school is predicted to grow to over 1200 students in the next ten years due to the expansion of the Bardia precinct. The school has a support unit of four classes (one for students with moderate intellectual disabilities and three for students with autism).
The school is undergoing transformational change in relation to its cultural identity which includes the school motto, uniform and house names. These changes are also reflected in the futures learning focus we are undertaking in teaching and learning practice, student voice and community participation.
Ingleburn High School aims to provide broad–based educational experiences that are both relevant and challenging in collaborative classrooms. Students are encouraged at all times to take responsibility for their own academic and social learning, extending their own abilities and interests so that they can reach their potential and make valuable contributions toward Australian society. The school continues to build a vibrant learning community focusing on student achievement, community connections, teaching practice and opportunity.
