Plumpton High School

Plumpton High School is located in an urban area serving a diverse population within a low socioeconomic context. Currently 1020 students attend the school, representing over 65 different nationalities and including approximately 90 Aboriginal students. The numerous extra-curricular opportunities include the areas of performing arts, student leadership, engineering and technology, the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, the environment and media and communication. There is a strong culture of school-developed professional learning to facilitate our vision as expressed in our strategic plan, which is based on the premise that excellence comes when students and staff commit to becoming the best they can be, contributing to the local and global community in a meaningful way. Plumpton believes this goal can be best realised within a supportive, innovative, creative and stimulating educational environment focussed on building intellectual capacity, positive relationships, strong self–concept, leadership capacity and high quality reflective practices.
