The Hornsby High School difference
Academic excellence
We prioritise academic achievement as a core focus. We consistently outperform both comprehensive and private schools within our local area.
We encourage students to take responsibility for their learning, while knowing they are supported every step of the way.
Enrichment and diverse opportunities
Students are encouraged to engage in our extensive sporting, music, dance, debating, and enrichment programs.
Practical programs such as White Card training, Work Placement, School 2 Work, and Barista initiatives develop real-world skills and industry experience, reinforcing the importance of responsibility and excellence in professional settings.
Safe and happy learning environment
The transition into high school is thoughtfully guided through our exciting Year 7 Welcome Camp, designed to build connections, confidence, and a sense of belonging from the outset.
Leadership opportunities and experiences such as our annual ski trip further cultivate responsibility and pride, enabling students to contribute meaningfully and foster a respectful, inclusive school community.
Principal's message
It is with great honour and enthusiasm that I welcome you to our new coeducational high school—a forward-thinking learning environment built on the foundational values of Respect, Responsibility, and Excellence.
Our vision is to provide a holistic education that empowers every student to maximise their ability—academically, socially, and personally. We believe that respect for oneself and others, responsibility in learning and behaviour, and a commitment to excellence in all pursuits are essential to this journey. Our comprehensive academic program is complemented by a broad range of co-curricular opportunities that enrich the student experience beyond the classroom.
Emphasising academic excellence, we are proud of our experienced and dedicated staff, their expertise with explicit teaching and our close ties to our local community. At our school, every student is encouraged to grow and succeed.
Central to everything we do is our commitment to creating a safe, happy, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every learner is valued, challenged, and supported. Through the lens of Respect, Responsibility, and Excellence, we aim to nurture not only successful students, but compassionate, capable, and confident members of our community.
I look forward to the exciting journey ahead as we build a school community that lives and breathes these values—every day and in every classroom.
Welcome to our vibrant and inclusive school community!
Bryce Grant, Principal of Hornsby High School
