Introduction
Calwell High School is located in Southern Tuggeranong. It provides an inclusive educational program for students. The Calwell High School Community is drawn from the suburbs of Calwell, Theodore, Isabella Plains and Richardson. The school is increasingly drawing students from other suburbs, though the majority of students live in the school’s Priority Enrolment Area (PEA). The school opened in 1990 and has grown in reputation over the years.
The school places a strong emphasis on providing the best education for all students across all key learning areas. Calwell High School has a Community Centre where a wide range of partnerships have been developed between community groups, volunteers and government agencies to provide services and programs to students, parents and the wider community.
The school works very closely with PEA primary schools in the Calwell Cluster. The cluster has undertaken extensive professional development (PD) for staff in Restorative Practices, use of Circle Time and developing and implementing a K to 12 Values Curriculum. The school places a strong emphasis on restorative practices, peer mentoring and mediation. The school has developed strong links with the other public high schools in the Tuggeranong Valley forming the Consortium of Tuggeranong High Schools.
