Position Information

Bathurst High Campus is steeped in a rich and proud history, catering for a dynamic and diverse community. Situated in regional NSW, the iconic Bathurst High building built in 1926 sits proudly on the hill in full view of the city below. The perfect blend of old and new buildings, state of the art amenities onsite, along with a fully functional Trade Training Centre, helps to make the school a world class facility. The school has 78 teaching staff, 22 non-teaching staff and an enrolment of 904 students, including 162 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, 8% NESB and 71 support students.

Bathurst High Campus forms an innovative college structure with Kelso High Campus as part of Denison College of Secondary Education. Growing student achievement through a high expectations culture is the educational foundation which supports academic growth, vocational education, creative and performing arts programs and sporting success. The school has a distinctive range of programs that promote creative, cultural and sporting excellence. The band program cultivates student musical talent from their primary school years, through a range of band styles, right up into the award winning Swing Factor collaboration. The Aboriginal cultural programs and designated learning environments nurture every student’s understanding and expression of culture. Astley and Mulvey Cup interschool sporting and public speaking competitions are high level events that have been important to the Bathurst community for 100 years. Our aquaculture facilities provide students unique learning experiences in an innovative curriculum. Bathurst High staff are highly engaged in and committed to forging strong partnerships with students and the wider school community. Our campus provides learning opportunities where students strive to meet their educational potential. Our staff aim to inspire students, so they aspire to reach their lifelong goals and we do this through a supportive educational environment. Strong links with community groups, combined with a professional partnership with Charles Sturt University, allows ongoing professional growth for both students and teachers.
