Muswellbrook High School
At Muswellbrook High School, our highly qualified and dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff work together to create an environment that truly embodies our school motto, 'Striving for Excellence in a School that Cares'. The school is built on the land of the Traditional owners of the Wanaruah and Kamilaroi peoples. It boasts a proud history of educating families of the Upper Hunter; drawing students from the Muswellbrook, Denman and Martindale communities. The economic viability of these communities is based upon; mining, agriculture, viticulture, the equine industry and power generation. The school is dedicated to developing a culture of academic achievement, success in sport, agriculture and the opportunity to enhance student performance in the cultural and performing arts. Muswellbrook High School promotes public education by; catering for the diverse learning needs of students in our Support Unit, providing successful pathways into tertiary study or into employment, fostering the talents of our gifted and talented students, providing enrichment opportunities for Aboriginal students via the Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation and enhancing the opportunities of students to experience cultures from different countries, including our sister school relationship with the Sayama Seiryo School, Japan. All school programs and initiatives are well supported by an active parent community. The Muswellbrook High School teachers are a talented and committed group, boasting a positive mix of youth and experience. They regularly make considerable personal time available to tutor, train and mentor students, supporting them across a wide range of both curricular and extracurricular areas: 'As a progressive educational community, we are committed to inspire and challenge students to achieve individual success in preparation for effective participation in a changing world'.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
