Walgett Community College is located 290 km north-west of Dubbo. The High School has a Year 7-12 enrolment of 110 students, including approximately 96% Aboriginal students. The college is in a remote, rural location allowing learning opportunities to occur in unique environments.

Walgett Community College is part of the Connected Community Strategy. The Connected Communities Strategy is an approach that schools and communities use to strengthen the educational outcomes for Aboriginal students and all students. It brings the community closer with the school, brings in Aboriginal culture, and allows the school to work with government and non-government groups to help support the education of the school’s students.

We are focused on School Leadership, A Positive School Environment, Embedding Local Language and Culture, Student Engagement, A Focus on Literacy and Numeracy, Wellbeing, Vocational Education Pathways, Linking Education to the Community, Communication and Engagement with Families and Community and Facilities and Equipment.
