Our principal and staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our Executive Principal
I’m delighted to welcome you to Gunnedah High School, where we create a supportive environment for every student.
At Gunnedah High School, our core values of Respect, Responsibility, and Doing Your Best form the foundation of everything we do. These values are embedded in our School Behaviour Support and Management Plan, which helps ensure our school remains a place where everyone feels respected, connected, and supported.
Respect means treating others with kindness and understanding, valuing differences, and caring for our environment.
Responsibility is about owning our actions, supporting one another, and contributing positively to our school and community.
Doing Your Best encourages us all to aim high, take pride in our efforts, and keep growing – it’s about striving for improvement, not perfection.
We’re proud of our dedicated staff and our strong partnerships with families and community.
I invite you to explore our website and discover what makes Gunnedah High School a special place to learn, grow, and belong. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
