Principal's Message

Dr Janene Rosser

Welcome to Newcastle High School, it is a privilege to lead a school with such a proud history, strong values and a vibrant, diverse community. Our school is committed to providing every student with the opportunities, support and encouragement they need to succeed, not only in their learning, but as confident, capable and compassionate young people.

Our school vision reflects who we are and what we aspire to become: a connected, caring and inclusive community where every learner is known, valued and challenged to grow. We work together to build the confidence, curiosity and determination to pursue excellence, creativity and wellbeing in a changing world.

This vision guides our purpose and ensures that Newcastle High remains a place where every student belongs and is equipped to thrive.

Our values of respect, responsibility and participation are central to our school culture.

These values shape our expectations, strengthen relationships and support a positive learning environment where students feel safe, supported and empowered to contribute.

They underpin how we learn, how we lead and how we support one another every day.

Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to deliver high-quality teaching and learning across all stages, supported by evidence-based practice, strong wellbeing structures and genuine partnerships with families.

We offer a broad curriculum, extensive co-curricular opportunities and multiple pathways designed to cater for diverse interests, abilities and aspirations.

Newcastle High School is a place where learning is active, relationships are strong and students are encouraged to aim high. Whether through academic achievement, creative expression, cultural engagement or sporting excellence, we strive to help every student discover their strengths and unlock their potential.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, achievements and opportunities. If you are considering Newcastle High School for your child, I warmly encourage you to contact us or arrange a visit.

Together, we aim high and achieve more.
