About our school

Morisset High School is a large, comprehensive, co-educational high school located on the western shores of Lake Macquarie.

Our team of staff is committed to being informed professionals, who cater to the educational, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of all of our students, and that successful education is achieved through being safe, being respectful in all situations, and being engaged in preparing for the future. 

We work in close partnership with our community and create a positive and empowering learning culture for our students. Our close links to our partner primary schools through the Western Shores Learning Alliance ensure a proactive K-12 approach to education and learning through the Positive Behaviour for Learning processes adopted by all NSW Department of Education schools in the Morisset area.

"As an integral part of our wider community, we create a learning culture that supports our students to build resilience, the skills to learn, and a determination to pursue their passions."
