Teaching ServiceBillabong High School is a comprehensive high school located in the Greater Hume Shire between Albury and Wagga Wagga with an student enrolment of 383 with 6% Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander. The school works in partnership with students and the community to seek high quality educational outcomes for all students. Priorities include pursuing excellence in line with the School Excellence Framework, driving literacy and numeracy growth, differentiation, and leadership development. The school has three Multi-categorical Support Classes and a strong Learning Support culture. An ongoing focus is catering for the challenges faced by rural students and schools, and to this end a state-of-the-art Aurora College facility was established in 2016 to provide selective school access for local gifted and talented students. An increased ‘teaching and learning’ focus, a growth mindset outlook, and increased reflective practice saw an improvement in student growth (7-9 NAPLAN) during 2016-2019. Further growth is expected with the continued employment of a full-time Instructional Leader to support the instructional capacity of every teacher.
The school balances the academic curriculum with a range of extracurricular programs to maximize educational opportunity for all students. Billabong High School exists on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, and its Aboriginal Education Team works with the school community to improve student outcomes and cultural competencies for all. The school also values the support of a well-informed and proactive Parents & Citizens Association.
