Principal’s Welcome

Kym Grant

Mount Gambier High School is a school recognised for its innovation and excellence. The school motto “Nothing Without Effort” encapsulates our intent as a school; that is, an unrelenting commitment to continuous staff and student improvement, growing our practice and programs to meet the current and future needs of our students. We promote and value a spirit of learning, belonging and responsibility, celebrating diversity and collaboration in everything we do.

It is an absolute privilege to lead a vibrant and innovative school that offers an inspiring learning environment, one that is both engaging and gives students the opportunity to achieve their best within a culture that is safe, supportive and productive. We specifically focus on respectful relationships, high expectations and excellence, and our school values, beliefs and agreed expectations link directly to these areas.

Students are actively engaged in shaping all aspects of our school community from facilities to teaching and learning, furthering their sense of belonging and helping them grow into thoughtful, active citizens. We are proud of our comprehensive curriculum both academic and vocational as well as our extensive extra curricula activities, these being constantly reviewed as the individual interests of our students change.

We firmly believe in the capacity of young people to change the world and the significant role education has in influencing lives and providing opportunities for a successful future. We look forward to discussing how our school and its community can support your child in their educational journey.
