Position Information
Albion Park High School is located on Dharawal Country at the foot of the Illawarra escarpment. The school is a richly diverse and complex comprehensive high school with a growing enrolment of approximately 950 students, including 106 Aboriginal students and 12 support classes as well as a Return to School Centre (Parkside). We have a strong focus on creating a safe and caring environment where every student is known, valued, and cared for. The school's current ICSEA is 972 and the school's FOEI is 111. The staff at Albion Park High School are committed to providing innovative and successful programs focusing on authentic, evidence-informed initiatives and teaching pedagogies.
Our school continues to nurture a strong sister-school relationship with Omiya Kita High School in Japan, and we enjoy a reciprocal student exchange. We have an active and supportive P&C and enjoy close connections with the local community.
Having recently undertaken external validation, our school is in the process of consultation to develop the next phase of school excellence. We maintain a strong focus on student growth and attainment, wellbeing, staff growth and school and community partnerships. Our connections continue to be strengthened through our VET, Transition2Work and post-school pathway initiatives, including university connections. All staff play an active role in diverse School Excellence Teams to promote school improvement. We have a strong learning and wellbeing culture, driven by the Neurosequential Model of Education (NME) as a mode of delivery and support for students, Positive Behaviour for Learning frameworks, a signature pedagogy of Visible Thinking and a focus on high-quality learning experiences.
We continue our emphasis on the development of students who are active, critical, and creative thinkers. The school is committed to continually improving effective classroom practices with staff professional learning being the key to this growth. This learning will ensure that both literacy and numeracy levels can be enhanced through improved data collection, analysis and use which underpins our belief in individualised and differentiated learning.
