Welcome to the Orange High School website.

We hope that this site will provide you with a clear overview of the experiences and opportunities that the school offers. Orange High School offers a broad curriculum from Years 7 - 12. Students are able to study a wide range of subjects at every level. In the senior years the curriculum offering has been extended through e2 (e2 is a collaboration of five schools - Orange High School, Canobolas Rural Technology High School, Anson Street School for Specific Purposes, Molong Central School and Blayney High School). Students can study subjects not available at their home school via a range of modes through e2. In 2007, Year 11 students had access to fifty three subjects for their pattern of study.

Orange High School is widely recognised for the Performing Arts. Students perform in the schools' concert, school and stage bands and ensembles. The choirs and vocal groups also perform on a regular basis. Our music students are involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities. The music community of Orange High School includes staff, students and parents. PRISM (Parents Rejoicing in School Music) actively support the school's pursuit of music excellence. Students study Drama as an elective from Years 9 - 12. Our drama students regularly perform at school, community and regional events.

Orange High has a strong sporting tradition. Students and staff compete and coach at elite levels in a number of sports. Each year a number of students compete at state and national level in their chosen field.

A strength of the school is the committed and highly experienced staff. Their dedication to our students is demonstration on a daily basis. Orange High is committed to its ethos of "Achievement in a supportive environment". As a school community we work hard to ensure that students strive to achieve their full potential. Our comprehensive student welfare system endeavours to support them as they work towards their goals.

As a school community, parents and staff share the role of assisting Orange High School students to enjoy their schooling and seize the outstanding opportunities a comprehensive Public Education offers them.

I hope that this website will enhance communication throughout the Orange High School community. If you have any queries, or suggestions on how we can continue to improve out school, please contact me.
