About the school

Wollumbin High School is a small, comprehensive school established in 1995, situated in the picturesque far north coast of New South Wales. The school provides a safe rural setting, surrounded by stunning farmland and hinterland, which offers a peaceful and inspiring environment conducive to learning. In 2025, it returned to its stand-alone site after a temporary merger with Murwillumbah High School during 2023–2024.

The school is dedicated to building a vibrant and inclusive community where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to achieve their personal best. Guided by the motto, ‘Together We Learn,’ Wollumbin High School promotes academic excellence, personal growth, and wellbeing through a culture of high expectations, curiosity, and care. The small class sizes facilitate one-to-one support, ensuring that each student receives the attention necessary to thrive.

Wollumbin High offers a broad, flexible curriculum, bolstered by collaboration with the Murwillumbah Learning Community of Schools (MLCoS), giving Stage 6 students access to a diverse array of courses. The school's professional staff possesses extensive knowledge and experience, contributing to successful HSC results that have placed students in top achievement bands.

The school has a tradition of excellence in academic, cultural, creative, sporting, and vocational pursuits, offering innovative programs that challenge and support all students. A prominent feature is the KIN Program, which provides opportunities for students to explore passions and talents. Additionally, the Dedicated Deadlies Kin initiative empowers Aboriginal students to connect with their heritage. Wollumbin High School is more than just an educational institution; it is a close-knit community celebrating each student's uniqueness and supporting their aspirations.
