The Henry Lawson High School (abbreviated as THLHS) is a government-funded co-educational comprehensive secondary day school, located in Grenfell, a town in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia.

Established in 1965, the school enrolled approximately 160 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom five percent identified as Indigenous Australians and four percent were from a language background other than English. [2] The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education; the principal is Aaron Flagg. [1]

Overview

The high school was founded on 3 February 1965 after the Grenfell Intermediate School, founded in 1930, [3] separated into Grenfell Public School and THLHS. The school was named in honour of Henry Lawson, a famous Australian poet. The school's motto is "Challenge, Encourage, Achieve". [3]

The school was successful in the Young Achievement Australia awards in 1998 and 1999. [4] [5] In 2003, it was reported that the subject of chemistry would no longer be taught at the school for students preparing for the NSW Higher School Certificate. [6]
