**Position Information**:
Lake Munmorah High School is a modern comprehensive high school established in 2000. The school population is comprised of approximately 730 students, 103 of whom identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 19 students who are from a non-English speaking background. The FOEI (Family Occupation and Education Index) is 121. The school works collaboratively with our partner primary schools, across a range of activities and initiatives, as part of the Lakes Learning Community.

A comprehensive situational analysis has been conducted which led to development of the 2021-2024 Strategic Improvement Plan, both of which involved genuine consultation with students, staff, parents, and the Muru Bulbi AECG. Through our situational analysis, we have identified a need to use most of the school's equity funding to support a range of initiatives including a Targeted Sports Program, STEM classes and a dedicated STEM learning area, as well as a strategic initiative to support student growth in the area of creative and performing arts with the 'SHINE' program. The school has a modern Resource Centre that is supporting higher HSC attainment with additional one on one study support. The school provides strong support to address student wellbeing through targeted programs and the 'Wellbeing Hub'.

The school is committed to continually improving effective classroom practices with staff professional learning being the key to ensuring this. This learning will ensure that both literacy and numeracy levels can be enhanced through improved data analysis and use to support individualised and differentiated learning.

Lake Munmorah High School also has a support unit for students with identified autism spectrum disorders, emotional disturbances and intellectual disabilities. The school has a strong relationship with the local Aboriginal community and is a proud and active member of the Muru Bulbi AECG.
