Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Queanbeyan High School, I am proud to lead a school that has been at the heart of our community since 1959.
We are dedicated to providing quality education tailored to the unique needs of each student. At Queanbeyan High, we believe every learner is different, and we are committed to creating bespoke pathways that support students to achieve their individual goals, whether that leads to further education or meaningful employment.
Our supportive environment encourages growth, resilience, and success. We look forward to working together with students, families, and the wider community to build a bright future for everyone who walks through our doors.
I encourage you to explore our website and discover what makes our school unique. We look forward to welcoming you to the Queanbeyan High family!
Mrs Vanessa Willetts, Principal of Queanbeyan High School
