Principal’s Welcome

Harrisdale Senior High School gives local families access to an excellent secondary education close to home.

Welcome to Harrisdale Senior High School. Our vision as a school of excellence extends to all facets of our strategic planning.  Our school is achieving outstanding academic results and testament to the quality of care and the rich schooling experience we aim to deliver for each and every student.

Our students excel in all areas including academic, sports, arts and civic responsibility. We encourage every child to be part of our community spirit, demonstrating our values of excellence, responsibility, respect and care. We encourage students to give back to their community and be a team member.

We support student leadership and innovation enabling our students to be part of their educational journey and become active global citizens and to be outstanding leaders.

Along with the many programs on offer, Harrisdale is also a gifted and talented education school, working with some of the top achieving students in our state. Part of this program is about building the capacity of both students and teachers to achieve success in a wide range of academic programs, sporting, cultural, and community-based co-curricular events at state, national and international levels.

While our school is relatively new, we are developing a rich history by creating a teaching and learning culture that promotes excellence across all areas of education, not just within a particular program. Our commitment is to the “whole child”, to empower them to reach their true potential, enabling them to achieve fulfilment in pursuits that inspire them, and in turn, to contribute positively to society.

We want to work in partnership with parents, and our community to build our children’s confidence, skills, and aspirations. Our website is the first step to getting involved with our school and learning about us.

I welcome parents, families, and our greater community to be an active part of our vision and journey as a school of excellence that supports your child to be the face and spirit of that excellence.
