Our History

"A Comprehensive Co-Educational High School Serving the Community"

Planning for Moorebank High School began in 1971 to meet the needs of the Moorebank, Hammondville and Chipping Norton growth areas. It wasn’t until the May holidays of 1975 however that the school was ready to be occupied. At the beginning of term two staff and students moved into the present school premises, with Mr. B.T. O'Donnell as the founding School Principal. In June 1985, to coincide with the opening of the school tennis courts, the school was officially opened by the then Minister of Education, Mr. R.M. Cavalier.
As a co-educational high school catering for students from Years 7 to 12, the school aims to provide a balanced educational program in a caring and happy environment. It strives to promote an atmosphere of mutual respect, co-operation and consideration in which students can increasingly develop a sense of personal responsibility.
Over the years Moorebank High has built up a proud record of academic, sporting, performing arts and student leadership achievement. The school is a leader in the area of technology with five computing laboratories allowing innovative and exciting learning programs to be developed for students. School musicals and Expo evenings are a feature of the school.
In 2010 Moorebank High School will become a partially selective high school, with our first intake of 60 students in year 7.
The school motto is:

LEARN TO LIVE
