The Turramurra High School difference

Inclusive Learning Community

Our school strives to create a welcoming and encouraging environment for students from all backgrounds. Our teachers, learning and wellbeing support teams help each child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day.

Empowering Individuals to Reach Their Potential

We offer our students a wide range of subjects and co-curricular opportunities. This empowers them to learn, develop skills, and discover their passions. A school-wide culture of high expectations is embedded in our daily practice.

Equip students to be successful community members and lifelong learners

Developing a sense of connectedness and shared purpose for students to become active, considerate and culturally aware citizens of the future, whilst maintaining a commitment to lifelong learning, is a key school focus.

Principal's message

I am delighted to welcome you to our school. Here, we encourage every student to discover what they love, build their skills, and become confident and capable young people.

Our school strives to be a friendly, inclusive and welcoming place where we respect the needs of all students. Our teachers work hard to make the curriculum interesting, relevant and engaging to optimise students’ learning potential.

Besides regular classes, we offer approximately 38 co-curricular activities. Whether your child likes art, sports, technology, or helping the community, there is something here for them to enjoy.

We believe that parents, carers, and the school should work closely together to help every student succeed. We invite you to be involved—ask questions, share your thoughts, and join us in supporting your child’s learning. Our School Excellence Plan drives continuous improvement and focuses on three main areas:

We want every student to continue to build their skills in literacy and numeracy and across the full curriculum. Our teachers use explicit teaching strategies that are clear and consistent to help students succeed.
We believe in fostering a collective, school-wide culture of high expectations through quality teaching practices, student achievement, attendance and engagement, staff and student wellbeing, and student behaviour.
Strong partnerships and communication between students, teachers, parents, and the wider community.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Turramurra High School and helping your child achieve their best.

Desley Pfeffer, Principal of Turramurra High School
