Strathfield South High
School is a comprehensive coeducational setting with an enrolment of over 630 students, which includes a Support
Unit for students with Hearing Impairment (4 classes) and Autism (6 classes).
The Support Unit is a strongly integrated, and integral, part of the school.
More than 90% of students originate from non-English speaking backgrounds, and
there is a significant refugee population. The lives of most of our students
are characterised by the effects of socio-economic disadvantage. Students are
supported through strong Wellbeing and Learning initiatives including a
well-supported breakfast club, mentoring and transition programs, and
after-hours homework centre, all coordinated by a highly proactive Student
Wellbeing Team. Innovative pedagogical approaches are characterised by a
successful Compressed Curriculum in Years 11 and 12, and a Stage 4 Middle
School. Strong engagement with our communities has been fostered through
award-winning partnerships with local councils and various community groups and
organisations.
