South Sydney High School is a proud co-educational school providing diverse educational programs that support students in reaching their full potential.

We dedicate ourselves to meeting the individual learning needs of all students and celebrating their diversity. Our teaching and learning programs deliver quality education and offer all of our students the opportunity to become engaged in a range of academic and vocational learning experiences.
