Get to know our school staff. We're all here to help.

The passion of the West Wallsend High School staff and their commitment to operating as a professional and unified team is one of the greatest strengths of West Wallsend High School. We are proud of our reputation for being a caring community that engages, supports, and challenges students to draw out their best and instil a sense of pride in their achievements. Every child’s progress is important and our staff look for opportunities to encourage and support each child’s development.

Our professional, university-educated teachers encourage students to develop a love of learning and a desire to succeed. They maintain the highest integrity and concern for your child’s wellbeing.

The principal is responsible for the educational leadership and management of our school. If you would like to speak to the principal, please contact us to make an appointment.
