Ballarat High School is a learning community where every person is valued, respected, and challenged as a learner.
Ballarat High School commenced in 1907 as Agricultural High School and today has a student population of 1500 students. Ballarat High School has a long history and tradition of providing a quality education to the youth of Ballarat. While the school has changed physically over its hundred-year history, what has not changed is the significant contribution it makes to many young lives.
We endeavour to provide an inclusive, positive, respectful learning environment for all students. We believe in educating the whole person and acknowledge the correlation between student wellbeing, connectedness, and academic achievement. Our mission is to provide the right supports, to the right students at the right time.
Our values of Pride, Respect, and Responsibility under the moto of Duty Always ensure we build and maintain strong and positive relationships. We focus on teaching and learning improvement strategies that will raise standards and outcomes for all individuals in a culture of high expectations, collaboration, shared values, and trust.
Capital infrastructure upgrades in recent years have provided wonderful learning spaces and contribute to our positive, safe, and inclusive school environment.
