About this job
Position Information
Orange High School has proudly provided high quality learning experiences to students in Central Western NSW for over 100 years. Today, we educate up to 1000 students, 11% of which are Aboriginal, from within the regional city of Orange and its rural surroundings on Wiradjuri country. The foundation of our school community is based on honouring the past with respected traditions while creating the future. Our school provides comprehensive secondary education underpinned by the motto: whatever we do, we do to the best of our ability.
Aboriginal heritage and culture are present in our school and make our lives richer. We acknowledge and celebrate the contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to our school culture while honouring their contributions to our school's proud history. Authentic respect for culture equips students with the skills and experiences to succeed and positively contribute to the Orange High Family and the world beyond the school.
Our teachers are invested in our student's success. Staff work collaboratively to ensure every student is engaged through careful evaluation of student data and community feedback. Teachers have the opportunity to guide students in discovering their talents and reminding our youth that they have the ability to make change. Our educators continually review and reform their teaching strategies with the aim of improving our external results in NAPLAN and the HSC by using evidence-based best practice to enhance academic outcomes.
