Principal's Welcome

At Thornbury High School, we believe in every student’s right to an excellent education. In our state-of-the-art facilities, students thrive in a kind, caring and academic environment. We have high expectations for all our students, and our award-winning teachers work exceptionally hard to support students with their learning and wellbeing.

As a school, we provide opportunities for students to excel academically, as well as in a range of co-curricular areas including Sport, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Leadership. We also offer extension and acceleration options for students, including our Junior School Concept classes, our unique Italian Immersion program, and our AFL, Soccer, Netball and Basketball Sports Academies.

For me personally, as a person who attended excellent public schools in my youth, I truly recognise the value of a public school that is aspirational, well-resourced and has a culture of high expectations and outstanding achievement. As a migrant from Sweden who came to Australia as an adult, I also believe deeply in the importance of promoting a culture of inclusion and support for all members of the THS community.

Our aspiration here is for all our students to graduate from THS with the skills, knowledge and confidence to go out into the world as resourceful, resilient young people, who can make a positive impact on their community and in the world. We aim to develop students as global citizens, with a love or learning and empathy and understanding of other people.

Thank you for taking an interest in our school – we are very proud of our school, our staff and our students at THS. Please book a tour if you would like to come visit our wonderful school and see what we have to offer.
