About

Cobar High School is a co-educational secondary school serving students in Years 7 to 12, situated in Cobar, a proud mining and rural community in Far Western NSW. The school's motto, "Vouloir C'est Pouvoir" — meaning "Where there's a will, there's a way" — reflects the spirit of determination that characterises both the school and the wider region. The school offers specialist programs in high potential and gifted education, ensuring that academically capable students are extended and challenged. Cobar High also provides targeted EAL/D support for students for whom English is an additional language or dialect, alongside dedicated provision for students with additional needs or disability. Student learning support officers are deployed directly in the classroom, providing in-situ assistance that benefits both individual students and the broader learning environment. The school has implemented Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) as a whole-school framework, establishing consistent expectations and a positive culture across all year groups.
