Monaro High School (MHS) is already excited for the upcoming 2026 year, with plenty of new enrolments coming in. Currently running transition days for Year 6 students enrolling in Year 7 for 2026, the sessions provide students with tours of the school, a chance to meet their new teachers and a taste of what their high school experience will be like. “Moving from primary to high school is a big step, and we find these transition days really make a difference in helping the students feel more comfortable and confident about the change,” MHS principal, Mr James Armitage, said. “Monaro High School is a diverse learning community with an inclusive environment fostering respect, optimism, acceptance and responsibility. We provide quality learning opportunities to prepare our students for excellence in their future pathways. “Myself and our amazing staff are looking forward to welcoming all our new students in 2026.” Having undergone a significant upgrade to the school’s facilities, which was completed in 2022, MHS is now able to offer even more opportunities for its students. A state-of-the-art performing arts centre, with capacity for an audience of 350 people, provides students interested in theatre, dance and music the opportunity to use the latest performance technology and experience being on a professional stage. New commercial kitchens support students in their learning of hospitality skills, and industrial technology workshops allow students to use a variety of high-grade tools in metalwork and woodwork. An innovation hub is also a new facility which allows students to participate in modern teaching methods and collaborative learning. “We have been enjoying watching our students take advantage of the opportunities our school can now provide,” Mr Armitage said. “High school is such a formative time, and we strive to give our students every chance to explore what they are capable of and achieve their goals to the best of their abilities. “Any parents who would like to speak with me directly about their child or who would like a personal tour of the school, I am more than happy to facilitate that and to discuss anything about Monaro High with them. Please don’t hesitate to call.” For more information about enrolling your child, visit the school’s website or contact the school on 6453 1500.
