About
Tenterfield High School is a rural secondary school serving students from Year 7 to Year 12 in Tenterfield, New South Wales. The school operates with a vision to provide an exciting, challenging, and interesting learning environment where students achieve their personal best, develop as lifelong learners, and become proud, creative, and productive members of the community. The school's location in rural Tenterfield shapes much of its character and curriculum focus. Strong connections to local trades, agricultural shows, and regional competitions give students access to authentic, industry-relevant experiences that extend learning beyond the classroom. Agriculture is a defining feature of Tenterfield High School's curriculum. A dedicated Agriculture Program, supported by specialist teachers, is resourced with modern facilities to give students hands-on learning opportunities. Alongside this, the school offers specialist expertise in construction and automotive trades, reflecting the vocational pathways available in the region. The Educational Pathways Program and the TAFE NSW Head Start Program further extend post-school readiness by giving students access to vocational education and training qualifications while still at school. The school also supports students across a broad range of learning needs. A special education unit is housed within the school, with four dedicated support classrooms available for students requiring additional assistance. High potential and gifted education is also recognised as a specialism, ensuring that students performing at the upper end of the ability range are appropriately extended and challenged.
