Picnic Point High School is a comprehensive, coeducational secondary school located in South-West Sydney. The school has an enrolment of over 850 students, with approximately 28% of students coming from a language background other than English and 5% identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. The school benefits from a highly active and supportive Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C;), which contributes significantly to school initiatives through fundraising and community engagement. In 2022, major building upgrades were completed in the Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) block, resulting in the development of industry-standard timber and metal workshops. These facilities provide students with access to contemporary, agile learning environments and equipment aligned with current industry practices. The faculty is well resourced, with up-to-date programs and materials that support the delivery of high-quality teaching and learning experiences.
