Our Principal and school leaders
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our Principal
“Welcome to Grafton High School. We have been educating secondary students since 1912, with a long and proud history of success. Be it academic, sporting, cultural or vocational, there is much on offer for every child at our school. We are a school that proudly represents all of our community, where students can learn and grow into well rounded individuals in a supportive environment.
Our staff are dedicated and heavily invested in our community, ensuring students have access to a wide range of curriculum, activities and opportunities. We value inclusion and diversity in everything we do and have strong links to our community to support students and prepare them with the skills they need for life beyond school.
Grafton High School can support students into a range of pathways which can begin while still a student at school. Our academic outcomes for students aspiring to further study in tertiary education are excellent, and our vocational programs through engagement in TAFE, careers education, vocational education courses, and school-based apprenticeships and traineeships provide opportunities for students that have not previously existed in schools like ours. We are here to connect each student with a pathway and interests that motivate them, and have a proven record in doing so.
I look forward to working with you here at Grafton High School as we take small steps each day to strive for a better future.”
