Position Information

Orara High School is a vibrant place of learning for over 890 students located in Coffs Harbour, Mid-North Coast, NSW. The school acknowledges that we learn and work together each day on the land of the Gumbaynggirr people.

The school is proud of the rich cultural diversity among its student body, our staff, and the school community.

The school community has high expectations of the school to deliver culturally relevant and respectful learning experiences and to be a place of learning that will lead all students - regardless of their background - to future careers full of challenge and opportunity.





Students with additional learning and behaviour needs are catered for within our Inclusive Education Unit. Specialist teaching and non-teaching staff work across eight learning spaces, assisting students to develop to the best of their abilities and to transition to rewarding lives beyond their school years.

High academic expectations are supported in the school's focus on literacy and numeracy. The school recognises that attendance plays an key role in the wellbeing and learning of all students. A dedicated attendance team of teaching and non-teaching staff track attendance and liaise with families in order to lift expectations and engagement.
