About the school
Cammeraygal High School is a vibrant comprehensive coeducational school catering to the academic, extra-curricular, and wellbeing needs of students in the lower North Shore of Sydney. The school's name, Cammeraygal, pays homage to the traditional custodians of the land, reflecting a strong commitment to values of egalitarianism, inclusivity, and reconciliation, as established through consultation with the local Aboriginal community during the school's naming process.
Established in 2015 with an initial enrolment of 120 Year 7 students, the school has expanded significantly and now accommodates approximately 860 students across two campuses—Pacific Highway for Years 7 to 9 and West Street for Years 10 to 12. The school offers extensive opportunities for enrichment and leadership, teaching students to be informed and engaged citizens. With a focus on fostering personal growth and holistic capabilities, students are encouraged to take risks in their learning and explore their interests beyond the classroom.
The newly refurbished facilities include state-of-the-art technology, performance, sporting, and teaching amenities designed to foster collaboration and connectedness. The school's differentiated curriculum is aimed at meeting the individual needs of all students, promoting critical and creative thinking through real-world problem-based learning.
Cammeraygal High School also places great emphasis on the involvement of its parent and citizen body, enhancing the educational experience through active support. The school's commitment to nurturing a vibrant community is summed up in its motto, "Empowered to Achieve," reflecting its determination to prepare students for success in all aspects of their lives.
