Swansea High School

Swansea High School is committed to providing a quality learning environment that meets the diverse needs of our students. We support students to develop into sensitive, responsible and independent young adults. Our students have every opportunity to strive and achieve their personal best in academic, sporting and cultural pursuits. We maintain high expectations of our students. Student learning is our number one priority. This is supported by a range of innovative programs designed to establish a caring educational environment which challenges, stimulates and rewards students as they participate and strive to succeed. Our school offers a thorough preparation for the School Certificate and Higher School Certificate. The curriculum provides students with broad subject choice including a number of industry training programs delivered through Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses offered in the senior years. Explicit teaching of both literacy and numeracy is a high priority across all curriculum areas to maximise student outcomes. Swansea High School demonstrates a strong commitment to student welfare and has a proud reputation for excellent transition programs. The Year 6 - 7 Transition Program is highly successful in preparing students and their parents for high school and our Year 10 - 12 programs provide preparation for entering into employment, further training or university studies. Such programs rely on valued partnership and continued collaboration with our six primary schools, local community groups, industry partners and tertiary institutions. The high school experience is supported by a wealth of leadership opportunities, enrichment programs and cultural experiences to foster responsible citizenship. Our school values a positive school culture in both the classroom and playground, to ensure both learning and social cohesion is cherished. Our teachers are both experienced and dedicated. They are committed to encouraging and supporting each individual student so that they reach their potential academically and develop into a responsible member of their local community. Teachers consistently nurture individual students to success in drama, visual arts, debating and state and national skills competitions. At Swansea High School we value, foster and encourage self-discipline, mutual respect and a sense of responsibility and believe that Swansea High School is a happy and safe school of which students and parents can be proud.
