AddressMoruya High School is an inclusive, comprehensive public High School of some 360 students and 60 teaching staff. The school has developed a positive behaviour for learning culture based on respect, responsibility and aspiration. With a significant enrolment of around 80 Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students, a special education support unit for students with disabilities and behavioural difficulties and a tutorial centre, the school offers a diverse curriculum and has developed numerous initiatives designed to meet the needs of our students. These initiatives include peer tutoring, the media group, a successful seniors program, a student representative council, a prefect group, a group focussed on sustainability and comprehensive transition programs. We promote academic acceleration for gifted students, student leadership, extra–curricular activities in sports and creative and performing arts and adolescent health programs all of which build resilience. The school has forged strong partnerships with other organisations to ensure Moruya High students have access to a broad range of educational opportunities. Attention is currently focussing on improving the quality of our information technology and computer systems and ensuring all students have access to flexible quality learning spaces. Our school motto challenges students to learn. It states that while we live we must learn and we must learn in order to live productive and meaningful lives. We trust that our students take full advantage of the many opportunities available to them at Moruya High School – the first in the Eurobodalla.
