Hay War Memorial High School
Hay War Memorial High School was established in 1923 as a co-educational comprehensive high school and has a strong tradition befitting a war memorial linked to the ANZAC tradition. The school is the only war memorial high school in the Commonwealth of Nations. The school has a unique background, close community ties and an ability to provide a personal educational experience for the students. The school provides broad-ranging outcomes to meet student needs and has developed a distinctive blend of traditional values and innovative educational practices that ensure a well rounded education. The ability of the school to provide a compressed curriculum for Years 11 and 12 offers students a broad range of courses. Students in Years 9-10 are offered wide ranging interest subjects and electives that include agriculture, child and family studies, through to the creative and performing arts, physical and sport science and technology. The provision of vertical elective classes has allowed for this. A supportive staff and professional tertiary trained teachers enhances the rich traditions of this unique school.
