Cronulla High School provides a structured learning environment that maximises student achievement. Students and their parents tell us consistently that the most outstanding feature of the school is the excellence of our teachers. They are committed to building relationships based on respect for students and focusing students on success in learning. Our three school goals, drawn from school effectiveness research, reflect the principles that guide our teachers:
- to raise expectations
- to communicate with parents
- to recognise achievement
At Cronulla High School students excel in all fields of endeavour. Their achievements regularly place them in the top ranks of the School Certificate and Higher School Certificate results. Virtually all our graduates find places in tertiary institutions, traineeships or full-time employment.
Our sports persons are renowned for their success in both individual and team competitions at local, regional, state and national levels.
We insist on high standards of dress and behaviour from students. In return we offer high standards of teaching, a structured and caring environment and a variety of learning experiences.
The school is situated a short walk from the wonderful beaches of Cronulla.
Cronulla is a proud and successful high school. |

The mentor program enables Year 12 students to choose a teacher to provide motivation and organisational skills during their final year at school. |
