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. At well over one hundred years in age, the school possesses a well-respected history of academic, cultural and sporting achievement. In 2023, external validation judged the school as excelling in several areas. 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 to access a wide range of courses for both university and non-university pathways, and a track record 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. 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 well the development of our students.
