We currently have 852 students, which includes 58 students in our Support Unit. 27% of students identify as coming from a non-English speaking background and 14.4% identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
We have approximately 69 teaching staff in our established staff, with additional staff purchased by the school to ensure the effective implementation of a range of educational programs and intiaitives. Our staff includes an Executive Leadership Team made up of 15 leaders (11 Head Teachers, 3 Deputy Principals, 1 Principal).

Our school has a strong focus on student leadership and a suite of programs and initiatives to support the skills required to be a successful leader.
Our school serves the Rosemeadow, St Helens Park and Appin communities. For many of our families, our school meets their aspirations to have their child be the first in their family to complete Year 12 and engage with tertiary education. Other students are supported vocationally to access work-related curriculum and opportunities to ensure a successful transition pathway from school to their career.
Our school is characterised by deep engagement with the community, including the educational community (partner schools, TAFE and universities), and Government and non-Government agencies and businesses that support our students including the Opportunity Hub and School to Work, as well as Macarthur Workplace Learning Programs.
