Now taking expressions of interest for Year 7, 2026! At Mawarra, we believe high school is not just about preparing for exams. We’re preparing for life. Adolescence is a time of rapid growth, where teenagers need strong, respectful relationships with adults who truly see them and mentor them through challenges. They need safe, inclusive spaces to explore identity, opportunities for voice and choice within clear boundaries, and learning that stretches them in ways that matter. They thrive when they feel they belong, when their contributions are valued, and when they are supported to take safe risks in learning, leadership, and creative expression. Academic growth matters but so does wellbeing, resilience, and the confidence to step into the world with strength. This is exactly what we offer at Mawarra. Relationships are at the heart of our small, connected high school. Every teacher knows their students, their strengths, goals, and challenges. Learning is designed to matter, drawing on big human questions and real-world contexts. Our Head, Hands, Heart model blends academic rigour with hands-on learning and values based growth. Leadership and belonging are nurtured through our multi-age structure, where older students inspire and support younger ones. Beyond the classroom, students stretch themselves in outdoor adventures, community projects, and creative challenges that build confidence and capability step by step. Give your child the opportunity to grow independence, confidence, and character in a safe, kind, creative, and challenging environment. That’s the Mawarra difference.
