Coomealla High School provides a wide range of academic, cultural, vocational, social and sporting experiences for all students. The school enrolment of approximately 400 includes 20-25% Aboriginal students. An excellent and productive learning environment is maintained. The school is supported by the Schools in Partnership initiative and the Country Area Program. The school has incorporated the Positive Behaviour for Learning model, with clearly stated values and a set of proactive strategies to maintain school harmony. Personalised learning plans have been developed for over 200 students and targets are supported by feedback, assessment for learning and reporting to parents. The school plan incorporates strategies for literacy, numeracy, student engagement and retention, technology and Aboriginal education to ensure successful educational outcomes for all students. The school is isolated within the NSW context and as such has to be very self-sufficient. Links with Mildura (Victoria) schools have been established through participation in a Trade Training Centre consortium application. The Quality Teaching Framework is embedded in teaching programs, assessment tasks and classroom pedagogy.
