Welcome to Trafalgar High School

As a school community we develop our students academically, socially and emotionally in an environment which values a holistic approach to education, thus enabling students to leave Year 12 well educated, and possessing the necessary personal qualities to succeed. We prepare our students for the demands they will face in the workforce, society, and personal relationships. Our school is a 7-12 campus which allows greater interaction between senior and junior year levels; where students get to know all staff members.  Many extra-curricular activities available to students have been very successful in the wider community with many students and groups reaching and having accomplished a representational level. These have included the annual school production, music program, drama groups, sporting activities, science activities and chess club. Our students are actively encouraged to participate as it helps them make friendships, and take on leadership roles. Student leadership and student voice is an important part of life at Trafalgar High School. Students are actively encouraged through a variety of means and programs to develop their own leadership skills and be proactive in school development.  The Student Leadership Team comprising of Representative Council, House Captains, Form Captains & Environmental Leaders provides several avenues for such involvement. Each is a key element in student voice in our community. The Leadership Team has representatives from each year level so there is immediate opportunity for being engaged in a leadership role as your child commences high school.

Our staff are dedicated to providing a valuable education to every student. The Values Statements developed by the students, staff and community, represented in a Values Wheel, reflects the motivation and commitment to achieve excellence in all areas of schooling. Success through: respect, trust and resilience.

The school has undergone major building re-development through the Building Futures Program. The modern facility is designed to support learning in a flexible space with up-to-date ICT equipment for year 7 & 8 students. The facility also includes an open plan area adjoined to a new library, home economics area & canteen with a communal seating area.

All students across the board have been able to utilise these facilities and enabling them to work within such a stimulating learning environment.

We welcome you to be part of our school community and look forward to a long and valuable association with Trafalgar High School.
