Teaching ServiceMorisset High School was established in 1965 although the Primary School had accommodated high school classes since 1951. It is located on the south-western side of Lake Macquarie and is a proud comprehensive public school that caters for 725 Year 7-12 students. The school features a range of architectural styles, including restored 19th-century heritage buildings as well as modern additions. A recently covered outdoor learning area has provided much needed undercover space for students.
Approximately 21% of students identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, who are well supported by the Itji-Marru Aboriginal Resource Centre and staff which was established in 1992.
There are five Special Education Support classes catering for students with additional learning needs. The school has a unique learning partnership with Big Picture Education Australia and has four Big Picture Advisories in the Morisset High School Big Picture Academy. This provides our students with an alternative, student-driven learning opportunity and in 2021, will see students achieving the International Big Picture Learning Credential. While the school offers a broad range of curriculum opportunities, school-based VET options include; Primary Industries (Agriculture), Retail, Business Services, Sports Coaching, Hospitality (Kitchen Operations/Food and Beverages), Construction Pathways, Manufacturing and Engineering and Hairdressing.
Each staff member commits to being an informed professional who caters for the educational, physical, social and emotional wellbeing of our students. The school continues to strengthen the Western Shores Learning Alliance with partner primary schools, to ensure a proactive K–12 approach to education through the Positive Behaviour for Learning processes adopted by all schools in the Western Shores Learning Alliance (WSLA). This recognises that a successful education is achieved through being safe, being respectful in all situations, and being engaged in preparing for the future.
