Principal's Welcome
As the Relieving Principal, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school community. At Elderslie High School, we are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
At Elderslie High School, quality teaching and learning are at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated staff employ evidence-based practices to cater to individual learning needs, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. We celebrate the academic achievements of our students and strive to provide pathways that support their goals, whether in further education, training, or employment.
We are proud comprehensive high school with a Support Unit. Additionally, we provide specialised classes for Year 7 students, including our Tech Elect class that encourage hands-on learning and innovation with IPads. Additionally, our Extension Class is designed to challenge and inspire high potential and gifted students, ensuring they reach their full academic potential.
Student wellbeing is a top priority at Elderslie High School. We implement the Berry Street Education Model, which supports the emotional and social wellbeing of our students, fostering resilience and a positive school culture. Through participation in our leadership teams students have the chance to build leadership skills, contribute to the school community to make a meaningful impact.
Elderslie High School celebrates the rich cultural diversity of our community through our annual Multi-Cultural Day. This special event brings together students, staff, and families to share and appreciate the variety of cultures represented in our school. It is a day filled with cultural performances, food, and activities that promote understanding, respect, and inclusion.
Our school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities to cater to diverse interests and talents. Students can engage in Agriculture programs, explore their creativity through our Creative and Performing Arts, represent our school in sport, and develop confidence and communication skills through Public Speaking.
