Wollumbin High School

Established in 1995, Wollumbin High School is a small, high-quality comprehensive school located in the heart of the picturesque far north coast of New South Wales. Nestled within a safe rural setting, the school is surrounded by stunning farmland and hinterland, offering a peaceful and inspiring environment for learning. In 2025, the school proudly returned to its stand-alone site following a temporary merger with Murwillumbah High School during 2023–2024. At Wollumbin High School, we are committed to building a vibrant and inclusive community where every student feels safe, supported, and empowered to achieve their personal best. Guided by our school motto, ‘Together We Learn,’ we foster academic excellence, personal growth, and wellbeing through a culture of high expectations, curiosity, and care. Our small class sizes allow for genuine one-to-one support, ensuring each student receives the attention and guidance they need to thrive. We provide a broad, flexible curriculum supported by our collaboration with the Murwillumbah Learning Community of Schools (MLCoS), giving Stage 6 students access to an extensive range of courses and learning opportunities. The highly professional staff brings a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience to the learning of students. Our HSC students have gained results that placed them in the top two HSC achievement bands in a range of courses, have been included in the NESA honour list and have had practical work selected for exhibitions. Wollumbin High has a long-standing tradition of excellence across academic, cultural, creative, sporting, and vocational pursuits. We offer innovative programs that cater to a wide range of interests and abilities, ensuring that all students are challenged and supported in a way that is meaningful to them. Tailored class placements and targeted strategies support students with specific learning needs, helping all learners achieve their goals. Our wellbeing framework is a cornerstone of our school, with a dedicated wellbeing hub and programs designed to ensure every student feels cared for and connected. We pride ourselves on fostering a unique school climate of tolerance, acceptance, and belonging. Our inclusive student support structures are considered best practice and underpin everything we do. A standout feature of our school is the KIN Program, held every morning, which gives students the chance to explore their passions and extend their talents. Specialised streams such as Dance, Photography, and Rugby League Development are available for students demonstrating high potential. Our Dedicated Deadlies Kin is a culturally rich initiative that empowers Aboriginal students to strengthen their sense of identity and pride while exploring their heritage through the lens of their chosen house. Wollumbin High School is more than just a place of learning—it is a community where students are celebrated for who they are and supported to become who they want to be!
