Bass High School

Bass High School is a co–educational 7–12 school of 637 students. A Support Unit provides programs for 55 students with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities. The school serves a diverse student population with 65% from a non–English speaking background and 24 Aboriginal students. Equity funding targets school improvement and innovation supporting teachers to collaborate and share quality practice. Our teaching staff has a strong commitment to improving student learning and engagement through quality teaching, wellbeing, professional learning and a focus on literacy and numeracy. The welfare team supports students at each stage of their development through a range of programs and practices that enhance student wellbeing. The explicit teaching and modelling of positive behaviour through the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) program is a whole school priority. Parents, carers and a vibrant and diverse community play a valued role in the life of the school supported by the Parents and Citizens’ Association and the Community Engagement Officer.
