The vision for Wangaratta High School is to empower all students to grow academically, socially and emotionally.
An outstanding learning environment built on high expectations for success enables all students, with support, to experience quality teaching within a positive climate for learning.
Our graduates are independent, lifelong learners who are equipped to make a positive impact on the world around them.
We are proud of the variety of pathways they pursue post-secondary school.
In **** the school had an enrolment of 650 students, and this is expected to continue to grow.
Throughout all stages of schooling at Wangaratta High School we aim to develop learners who strive to:
Achieve their Personal Best
Be Ready to Learn
Be Respectful
Be Safe
To achieve this goal, we offer quality teaching and learning programs delivered by highly skilled, creative and enthusiastic professionals.
Our contemporary buildings and grounds provide a stimulating learning environment where studentsare able tomaximise their potential.
Our Year 7 to 9 programs build strong foundations for future success.
We emphasise core literacy and numeracy skills across all subjects, and students access Italian as their language study.
As they progress, students have increasing opportunities to refine their own pathways through a broad range of electives.




Over the past decade, significant research has been conducted into engaging Year 9 students and preparing them for the demands of their final years of school.
Wangaratta High School has responded to this research, alongside our school data, to develop a Year 9-specific program centred on developing the academic, creative, physical and emotional aspects of our students.
Our flagship Community Leadership Challenge (CLC) program is an engaging, inquiry-based learning experience that fosters greater independence and reignites a passion for learning.
Ensuring our Year 7 students feel happy, secure and confident with a strong sense of belonging is a priority for all staff at Wangaratta High School.
A multi-day transition program before the commencement of Year 7 sets students up for success.
We are pleased with how quickly our Year 7s develop a sense of ownership and pride in their environment and a strong sense of belonging within their cohort and classes.
The Select Entry Accelerated Learning (SEAL) Program is an innovative program for highly able students that has been running successfully at Wangaratta High School for more than a decade.
The program has attracted some of the brightest regional students, who move through a section of the Year 7-9 curriculum at a faster pace in a separate class group.
The Department of Education and Training introduced the SEAL Program into selected Victorian schools to meet the needs of gifted and high-achieving students.
SEAL Academy schools provide quality and leading-edge programs to gifted and talented students.
The SEAL program is well embedded at Wangaratta High School and is a key part of the school¿s DNA.
As students transition into later years (Years *****) the opportunities to refine their pathways expand.
Students are provided with a diverse range of subjects across VCE, VET and VCAL.
Year 10 students are encouraged to undertake VCE/VET units to help prepare them for the rigours of a full VCE/VET program the following year.
