North Rockhampton High School has around 1000 students and has been established since 1952. At North Rockhampton High School we believe that the capacity for respect (of ourselves, others and the environment), excellence (high standards), responsibility (teamwork and leadership) and learning (critical, creative and reflective thought) are uniquely human attributes for young people to reach their full potential as contributing citizens. We aim to provide a balance of academic, sporting and cultural opportunities for our young people to support and enhance their talents and potentials. The school is committed to an educational philosophy that aims to develop attitudes, skills and essential knowledges as a foundation of contemporary learning. Teaching which is rich in intellectual rigour, critical thinking and connectedness to the real world embedded with character building and ethics, prepares our students as global citizens. North Rockhampton High School has framed its preferred future around five ambitions to allow us to move towards our vision. These include behaviour, relationships, Learning, Teamwork and Image.
