Teaching Service

Coomealla High School is located on Barkindji country in the Wentworth Shire, close to the Victorian regional hub of Mildura. As a comprehensive high school, it offers a broad curriculum from Year 7 to 12 in a caring and friendly environment where teachers know their students and focus on academic achievement and wellbeing, in a positive school culture.

The school has identified the need to focus on student growth and attainment through the development of a whole school approach in reading (literacy) and numeracy. This will be achieved through an individualised approach to learning support, and a strong focus on reading in every classroom, every day.

Connected Communities is a strategy to drive improved educational outcomes for Aboriginal children and young people. The strategy positions schools as community hubs that broaden the influence of the community and school leadership in the delivery of key services that support children and young people from birth through school into further training, study and employment.
