Jindabyne High School relocated to its new site in 2025, nestled on Ngarigo land at the base of the Snowy Mountains, two hours south of Canberra. Home to approximately 300 students (with 5% identifying as Aboriginal), we foster equity, resilience, and a love of learning through collective efficacy and a commitment to personal best. Catering to a diverse student population, we place a strong emphasis on academics, sport, creative and performing arts, and technology, ensuring student needs, aspirations, and opportunities are met.
Our flexible and responsive Years 7–12 curriculum supports smooth transitions throughout schooling, with a focus on pathways to tertiary study, trades‐based careers, and lifelong learning. High expectations, quality teaching, and comprehensive wellbeing support, drive innovative learning experiences that empower student success through our school values of respect, integrity and courage.
Our unique setting is a catalyst for our school motto, Rivers of Learning, Mountains of Opportunity, and enriches a range of specialised programs and extracurricular opportunities, enhanced by strong parent and community partnerships that connect students to broader perspectives and future possibilities. Our school promotes inclusive environments and effective support across mainstream and our three Multi‐Categorical support classes.
