Welcome from our principal
Rouse Hill High School is a proud member of our strong public education system, consisting of over 1200 secondary students learning each day, 110 staff members supporting students and growing in their expert knowledge each day, and a dedicated and invested community. We all work together to develop dynamic, accountable, resilient and engaged students who will contribute positively to society.
Our purpose is for our students to be thriving. This is supported through our consistent focus on explicit teaching, excellence in classroom practice, utilising student voice and feedback and targeted wellbeing programs. We also have a broad range of extra-curricular activities across areas including sport, creative arts, debating, mock trials, academic competitions and any other field where our students demonstrate interest and passion.
I trust our website will allow you to start to explore the great community that is Rouse Hill High School.
