Teaching ServiceThomas Reddall High School is a comprehensive secondary school based in the south west of Sydney. We have a six class Support Unit which caters for students with autism, mild intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities. We are a multicultural school and we value and respect the 40 different cultural backgrounds of our students and staff. Our total student enrolment has been steadily declining and is currently 497. 64% of our students have a non-English speaking background and 36% receive English as another Language or Dialect (EAL/D) support.
We proudly sit on the lands of the Dharawal people and we acknowledge and respect the traditions, customs and culture of our Elders. We have had a steady increase in the enrolment of Aboriginal students and we currently have 12% of our student body who identify as being from an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background. We are committed to stronger connections with our local AECG and positive partnerships in learning with our parents and community Elders.
Students have access to a broad curriculum, including access to VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses in the senior school. Some early commencement courses also become available in Stage 5 electives. Our Stage 4 approach has reduced the number of teachers on Year 7 and 8 with great success for the transition of our newest students to our school. Our students are involved in a wide range of extra-curricular programs in the areas of creative and performing arts and sport.
As an EPPP (Educational Pathways Pilot Program) school we have seen an increase in the number of students obtaining employment or further study pathways prior to the completion of the HSC. We expect this trend to continue as we work in collaboration with universities, TAFE and other educational institutions along with local businesses and employers to establish authentic partnerships and opportunities for our students.
Our students, staff and community are well supported through our targeted wellbeing and leadership programs to ensure we all connect, succeed, thrive and learn together. Our students exit our school as confident, capable and creative individuals who have a deep sense of responsibility and respect for others.
