Position Information
Mudgee High is a rural comprehensive school catering for 800 students from Years 7-12, 13% of whom identify as ATSI. The school is in the Central West of New South Wales in a region well-known for its tourism, agriculture and mining. The school celebrated its centenary in 2016 and possesses a well-respected history of academic, cultural and sporting achievement. In 2023, external validation judged the school as excelling in wellbeing. Restorative practices and the recognition of academic, cultural and sporting achievement all underpin that success. The school enjoys strong relationships with its families and the broader community. The comprehensive curriculum offered at Mudgee High allows students access to a wide range of courses for both university and non-university pathways. It has a proud history of transition success. Stage 5 elective courses are vertically integrated, broadening further what the school can offer. Mudgee High has a strong relationship with the broader community, including a supportive Parents and Citizens’ Association and an equally supportive local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group. Each year, Year 12 students engage in charity fundraising that involves the entire community, and local businesses and industries support our students and staff with expertise and resources. The school boasts modern science laboratories, trade training facilities, creative and performing arts facilities, a gymnasium, technology workshops, a wellbeing centre, eight support unit classes and a well-appointed library resource centre, all of which support the development of the young people who attend Mudgee High.
