About Robert Townson High School

Source: ACARA My School data

Robert Townson High School is a comprehensive, co-educational secondary school located in Raby, NSW, catering to students in Years 7 through 12 with an enrolment of approximately 750 students. Around 5 percent of the student population identifies as Aboriginal, reflecting a community the school actively includes in its vision of being "an inclusive community that values learning, growth and success." The school has a long-standing commitment to supporting students with diverse learning needs. The Diverse Learning Unit provides tailored support across the school, while the Hearing Impaired Unit has been operating continuously since 1989, establishing Robert Townson as a recognised centre for deaf and hearing-impaired education in the region. From 2026, the school will also establish an Autism class, further expanding its specialist support offerings. High Potential and Gifted Education is another named program at the school, ensuring that students who demonstrate exceptional ability have structured opportunities to extend their learning. This breadth of provision — from intensive support units through to gifted education — reflects a school-wide approach to meeting students at their point of need. The school's strategic priorities span literacy and numeracy across the curriculum, future-focused and 21st-century learning practices, and a strong emphasis on middle-years support to ease students through the transition into secondary schooling. Positive behaviour programs operate across the school, and a dedicated Head Teacher Wellbeing leads a whole-school approach to student welfare, providing a structured framework for pastoral care alongside academic development.
