Teaching ServicePosition Information

Katoomba High School rests on the lands of the Darug and Gundungurra people whose elders provide a strong connection between our school and the original owners.

Katoomba High School is a large centre for secondary education located in the Upper Blue Mountains. Our student body has almost doubled in number over the last ten years, affirming the comprehensive nature and growing reputation of our school. Our current student enrolment is 954.

Our student population comprises 7% Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 4% from a language background other than English. Our school hosts a large Inclusive Education Faculty with nine classes catering for students with a range of diverse needs. Most of our students are drawn from six local primary schools with which the high school has developed strong partnerships.

At Katoomba High School, every student matters, every lesson, every day. The building and maintaining of positive relationships within the school community is at the heart of Katoomba High School. Through strong social connections, students are best positioned to progress in their learning, parents develop strong partnerships with teachers, and staff feel supported, valued and empowered to undertake their work effectively.

Our school culture is focused on high expectations, explicitly teaching the attributes needed for students to reach their full potential, to be advocates for social justice, to be life-long learners and to grow in critical and creative thinking.

Our school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and has a strong culture of student volunteering both in school and external to the school. Katoomba High School has a long tradition of cultural engagements within the broader Blue Mountains community, environmental programs and sporting opportunities, both competitive and recreational.

The school is committed to understanding the stories of each student so that every student is known, valued, cared for, and has a strong sense of purpose. The school's foundation is built on its close relationships with parents, carers and community, its genuine consultation with students as agents of change and its relentless focus on ongoing improvement.

The school is dedicated to increasing the educational and wellbeing outcomes for all students, so they are equipped to leave school with the knowledge, skills, courage, and positive mindset to navigate their future and succeed in a complex world.

Alliances and partnerships that supplement and complement the work of our school include: local Blue Mountains Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), Mountains Youth Services Team (MYST), Headspace, Women's Health Centre, TAFE, the Upper Blue Mountains Learning Community (a coalition of public schools working together to benefit the work of all members) and various cultural and artistic organisations.
