Our Principal and Staff
At Jerrabomberra High School, our team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. Together, we create a safe and inclusive environment where every child is supported to succeed.
Welcome from our Principal
Welcome to Jerrabomberra High School – a vibrant, future-focused learning community where every student is encouraged to forge their own pathway and make a positive impact in the world.
Our school sits proudly in the heart of the Jerrabomberra and Queanbeyan-Palerang region, a place rich in history, culture and community spirit. We serve families from diverse backgrounds, including many who contribute to our region’s thriving defence, education, business and service sectors. This strong sense of community inspires us to build connections that extend beyond the classroom, ensuring our students feel both supported and challenged as they grow.
Driven by community, growth and innovation, our vision is to empower learners to thrive today and shape tomorrow. We achieve this through innovative teaching, authentic learning experiences and strong partnerships with families, industry and the wider community. We are committed to developing curious, capable and compassionate young people who are ready for a rapidly changing world.
We are also a school of aspiration. We are building pathways for every student, whether they pursue university, vocational education, employment or entrepreneurship. We believe success is not measured solely by results, but also by the growth, confidence and character our students develop along the way.
I warmly invite you to explore our website, learn more about the opportunities we provide, and share in our journey as a school proudly shaping the next generation.
