Position Information

Jerrabomberra High School is a new school which opened in 2023. In 2026 our anticipated enrolment will be 420 students. We have 3% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander student enrolments and 9% of students from a non-English speaking background. We are a comprehensive, coeducational high school proudly located in the township of Jerrabomberra on the border of NSW and the ACT, only 15km from Canberra International Airport and a short drive to the Snowy Mountains or to the South Coast. 

Jerrabomberra High School commenced with Year 7 and Year 8 in 2023, with the school being Year 7 to Year 12 by 2027. Our curriculum is innovative, framed through an inquiry and project-based learning approach.

Our culture is truly inclusive, centred on ensuring every student is able to co-design their learning journey which aligns to their skills, interests and aspirations. 

Our school provides a learning environment based on high expectations, and the belief that all students will grow in their time at Jerrabomberra High School.
