Our school facilities

We offer a range of learning environments. They help students stay engaged, build confidence and enjoy every part of their school day. Our facilities may include:

Aurora College

Aurora College is the state’s virtual school servicing rural and remote students. The college provides access to subjects that wouldn’t otherwise be taught outside of a metropolitan area. This includes special interest and advanced courses.

The studies are undertaken in dedicated Aurora study areas. Applications for Aurora College are based on academic merit. If you are interested in applying, please speak to your Year Adviser.

MASE/SISP Program

The STEM Industry School Partnerships (SISP) program is a partnership between schools, industry, business, government, universities, the vocational education sector and other key stakeholders. The SISP program has established Academies of STEM Excellence in nine regional locations around NSW.

Academies of STEM Excellence are learning communities usually consisting of a hub secondary school working collaboratively with their partner primary schools. They aim to improve STEM knowledge within the community and inspire students to develop a passion for STEM.

The Murrumbidgee Academy of STEM Excellence (MASE) is based at Griffith High School. The focus areas for MASE are Agri-Tech, Advanced Manufacturing and the Virtual STEM Academy.

Virtual STEM Academy

The NSW Virtual STEM Academy is based at Murrumbidgee Regional High School. The program enables students from across New South Wales to connect virtually and solve global, national and local STEM challenges while developing their collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. The Virtual STEM Academy aims to provide equal access to STEM learning for under-represented and disadvantaged students in regional, rural and remote areas across Australia.

Aboriginal Education and Support

Griffith High School employs an Aboriginal Education Officer (AEO) and has an Aboriginal Learning and Engagement Centre (ALEC) to provide support to our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

The ALEC provides personalised support to increase the proportion of Aboriginal students attaining Year 12 while maintaining their cultural identity. The ALEC also provides pastoral care to Indigenous students.

Any student who identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is able to use the resources of the ALEC.

Clontarf Academy

Our school hosts a Clontarf Academy, which exists to improve the education, self discipline, life skills, self-esteem and confidence of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. Using supportive relationships, a welcoming environment, and a diverse range of activities, the Foundation seeks to improve participation in education, employment and society.

A student must be male and identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander to apply. Any student interested in applying should approach Brett Goldspink.

Support for Pacific Islander Students

Griffith High School has a Pacific Islander Community Liaison Officer (PICLO). The position supports the education of Pacific Islander students.

Our PICLO links students to support services and ensures that Pasifika families are aware of school events and procedures.

If a student or parent identifies as Pasifika and needs assistance, they should contact PICLO Nau Mahe.
