Smiths Hill High School
Smith's Hill High School is a co-educational, academically selective high school situated in central Wollongong. Entry in Year 7 is by a state administered examination. The school has high expectations of our students and provides a positive, safe and rewarding learning environment. The core values of the school are expressed by the student representative council in the word ENRICH, representing Endeavour, Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Harmony the essence of the school. To cater for the varying needs of our students the school runs a vertically unitised curriculum which facilitates acceleration across year groups and enables students to pursue their own learning pathways. Our proximity to central Wollongong allows us to provide a balanced curriculum in terms of academic pursuits and cultural and sporting experiences. All students are encouraged to become independent learners and to make choices concerning their own learning paths. They are encouraged to extend themselves and develop their talents through participation in extra-curricular activities which include sport, camps, Rock Eisteddfod, debating, public speaking and drama and music performances where they have experienced great success.
