At Harrisdale SHS, we’re committed to excellence in teaching and
learning. Our mission is to guide every student to high achievement,
led by our exceptional educators and leaders who continuously
enhance their expertise.
We nurture each child’s complete development, upholding
the Harrisdale Way Pillars of respect, care, responsibility, and
excellence. Targeting wellbeing, we empower students to become
compassionate global citizens, fostering resilience and empathy.
Our unwavering dedication to surpassing expectations defines
us, as we offer an outstanding educational experience focused
on academic excellence, personal growth, and a supportive
community for a promising future
At Harrisdale Senior High School our values guide who we are and how we engage with one another and the world around us.
Together, these values are the foundation of The Harrisdale Way, a shared commitment to excellence, character, and community.
Achieving our mission calls on the deep engagement and purposeful interaction of four key partners in our learning community: our students; our teachers and support staff; our families; and our friends and external support groups within the wider school community.
We will work together to build a sense of belonging and connection – among our students; among our staff; between our students and staff, our school and families, our school and the wider community; and, importantly, with our ever-changing global community. We will provide learning opportunities that connect learners with each other, ideas, people, beliefs and values. We will prepare young adults with the self-belief, knowledge, skills and desire to lead happy, productive lives and to make a positive difference to their community.
