Corowa High School
Corowa High School is a dynamic learning institution with excellent facilities and a fine reputation for providing an outstanding education for the young people of the southern Riverina. Proudly comprehensive, Corowa High School caters for the needs of an energetic and diverse rural community and offers a broad curriculum and special programs which cater for the learning, emotional and social needs of all students. We are proud of our modern student-centred curriculum that is technology rich and responsive to the needs of our students. Our professional, university–educated teachers encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed. Our school works hard to meet the expectations of our community as we foster the intellectual, physical and emotional growth of our students so they can develop into caring and responsible adults. The school has an excellent record of sporting and cultural achievement and has strong links to the local community and partner primary schools through the ongoing success of the Bpangerang Learning Community. Corowa High School established a Year 7 Extension Class to meet the needs of motivated and talented students who are entering high school. Students in this class are taught an appropriately broadened, extended and accelerated curriculum. Ultimately, our goal is for students to be challenged, motivated and inspired to excel in a broad range of endeavours, from academic performance and leadership skills to excellence in sporting and extra-curricular activities. Our senior students benefit from unique and flexible Higher School Certificate pathways with wide subject choice and our school boasts exceptional student leadership and engagement programs that focus on building confidence, resilience and success. The high standards achieved by the school have been recognised in 2019 by the NSW Department of Education which listed Corowa High School as a model rural school in the area of High Potential and Gifted and Talented Education. Since 2000, Corowa High School has received 18 Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Student Achievement, 3 Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence, one Order of Australia Youth Community Service Award, 8 CHSSA Sporting Blues and two Director General’s Awards for our Literacy and Leadership programs.
