Why choose Jerrabomberra High?

Jerrabomberra High School is a comprehensive, co-educational secondary school located in Jerrabomberra, and part of the Queanbeyan network of schools.

We believe education should prepare young people not just for exams, but for life. Our learning design is built around authentic, project-based and inquiry-driven experiences that engage students in solving real-world problems and connecting their learning with future aspirations.

We are proud to be a future-focused school, where students develop the skills and dispositions needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Student agency, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and personal development are at the heart of our programs, alongside strong literacy, numeracy and technology foundations. Through innovative learning design, students explore their passions, build confidence and learn to take ownership of their learning pathway.

Our partnerships with universities, industry and community organisations expose students to diverse voices and opportunities beyond the classroom. This approach helps every learner see the relevance of their education and develop the adaptability needed for further study, employment or entrepreneurship.

As part of the NSW public education system, we are proud to provide a high-quality education that is accessible to all. Student wellbeing and inclusion are central to our work — we celebrate diversity and ensure every learner feels safe, valued and supported. We welcome students from all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, students with disability, Defence families, and those learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D).

We also value strong community connection. Families are actively involved through our P&C, volunteering and school events. Together, we celebrate achievements, strengthen partnerships and create a vibrant school culture where students are inspired to learn and thrive.

Jerrabomberra High School is more than a place of learning – it is a community where students are encouraged to forge their own path and make a positive impact on the world.
