PRINCIPAL WELCOME MESSAGE
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Googong High School - a dynamic new school serving the vibrant and growing communities of Googong, Burra, Royalla and Michelago. We are committed to providing an educational experience that is as dynamic and forward-thinking as the families we serve.
Our school motto, "For Today, For Tomorrow," is the heartbeat of our educational philosophy. It reflects our dual commitment to our students: ensuring they have the support and engagement they need to flourish today, while meticulously building the academic and emotional foundation required for their success tomorrow. Our commitment transcends traditional notions of ‘getting good grades’; we are dedicated to cultivating the enduring capabilities required for lifelong success. Through it all, we work closely with our community to ensure that learning is valued within and beyond the school gates through powerful partnerships with local industry, universities and community partners.
At Googong High School, we are a school built on the learning sciences. Our framework ensures every student develops a sophisticated toolbox of cognitive and self-regulatory skills, allowing them to take true ownership of their learning. This journey is purposefully designed to evolve with our students—starting with activating the mind in their early years, moving through a period of identity and discovery, and culminating in their development as confident, capable adults ready for the future. We are committed to providing multiple pathways for our students to ensure they can access the future they choose for themselves.
To support this innovative approach to learning, Googong High School boasts brand-new, purpose-built facilities. Our campus features versatile learning spaces which are architecturally designed to facilitate all types of learning from collaborative group work to quiet, individual study. We are equipped with the latest specialist spaces including media green rooms, performing arts studios, technology labs capable of housing VET standard training and a myriad of specialist spaces supporting a broad, practical curriculum. These state-of-the-art resources are more than just buildings; they are the tools that empower our students and staff to achieve excellence every day.
We invite you to join us on this journey as we shape the future of education in the Googong region.
