Box Hill High School is a high-performing co-educational government school in the Inner East area of Melbourne.

The school was established in 1930 and has a long tradition of striving for academic excellence and establishing a strong, positive learning environment for all students. We are a single-campus school of 1563 students enrolled from years 7 to 12. We have 132 teaching staff and 37 ES staff, as well as a team of 4 Principal class officers.

Box Hill High School is a learning community that fosters resilience, a passion for lifelong development and a commitment to positively impacting the world. Our purpose is:

- To ensure an inclusive, safe community where students and staff are respectful of each other.
- To collaborate to set and achieve challenging learning goals to create an workplace where everyone can flourish
- To equip students with the skills to be resilient and passionate life-long learners
- To respect and consider student voice in the classroom and wider school community
- To demonstrate school pride in the way we present and conduct ourselves
- To develop and nurture students who are ethical, think critically and can contribute as global citizens

Our school values of respect, creativity, resilience and growth ensure that everyone in our school community will be treated fairly and respectfully. In turn, we will strive to create an inclusive and safe school where curiosity and creativity are valued and all members of our community are empowered to participate and learn. The school motto, ad altiora certamus (to strive for the higher things) underpins all that we do.



Our educational approach is underpinned by the tenets of positive education

Student learning, engagement and well-being are central to our work, and the school has a range of programs in place to support the learning and growth of all students. These include our well-established SEAL program (GAPP), Program for Students with Disabilities (PSD), and intervention programs in Literacy and Numeracy. There are three Sub Schools that work collaboratively to ensure students succeed. Sub School leaders are valued school leaders in the School Improvement Team.

Student leadership, voice and agency are a priority at the school. Student leaders drive improvement in the areas of community, teaching and learning, environment and engagement and well-being.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land we live, work and travel upon, and we pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present, and we recognise, acknowledge and respect the history, culture, diversity, and value of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people. BHHS drives reconciliation in education, and celebrates and supports our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through our endorsed Reconciliation Action Plan.
