Welcome from our principal
Our school motto is Aiming Higher. At Shoalhaven High School we aim to improve each year, fostering confident learners with a positive mindset towards challenges. Our teachers create engaging educational experiences that connect students to the world and equip them for future success. As a Connected Communities school, we collaborate with the community to enhance educational outcomes for Aboriginal students and all students. We believe every student can achieve great things, supported by our dedicated staff in a caring and supportive environment that encourage curiosity and critical thinking. At Shoalhaven High School we plan with our students, our families and our community to help every student gain success and meaningful post school transitions and pathways. We value strong partnerships with families and invite you to engage in school events and volunteer opportunities. Thank you for choosing Shoalhaven High School. We look forward to celebrating our student’s success.
