Established in 1916, [3] the school enrolled approximately 810 students in 2018, from Year 7 to Year 12, of whom 13 percent identified as Indigenous Australians and five percent were from a language background other than English. [1] The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education; the principal is Wayne Eade.

Overview

According to the school, its aim is to "provide a safe, supportive and inclusive environment where students can develop the skills and knowledge to connect, succeed and thrive." [4]

Electronic devices

The New South Wales Department of Education has banned all electronic devices in schools since October 2023. To bring a phone or any other device to school it must be put in a YONDR pouch, which prevents use of the device. Alternatively, it the device may be locked at one of the 4 locking stations in the morning and can be unlocked in the afternoon before students depart. [5]

School newsletter

Each week the office staff produce a newsletter for parents and students to read, the newsletter contains information about recent school events and P&C awards announced and future programs to be held.

Sister schools

Mudgee High School has formed close links with several sister schools over the world including the Japanese Kita senri High School in Osaka, Japan, Nose Senior High School, and Ibaraki Nishi High School and, in East Timor, St. Francis of Assisi High School, in the town of Fatuberliu.

Every even year (Ex: 2022), a group of Mudgee High students and teachers make their way to Japan to further their study of the Japanese culture and language. The opposite occurs later in the same year when a group of Japanese students and teachers make their way to Mudgee.

Aurora allows students in rural and remote areas to remain in their local school and community while studying specialist subjects which their home school cannot currently offer. The school library has a distance education / Aurora room where Aurora lessons are held. [7]
