Welcome to Tempe High School, where innovation, opportunity and excellence are at the core of everything we do. Our Strategic Improvement Plan reflects our unwavering commitment to nurturing positive relationships, setting high expectations, and promoting a teaching and learning environment focused on inclusivity and excellence. With an enrolment of 1,017 students, including 67% from non-English speaking backgrounds and 3% identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, we are proud to be a comprehensive, partially-selective, and multicultural high school highly valued by our engaged community.
At Tempe High School, we believe in fostering a community where every child is known, valued, and cared for, providing an environment for all our students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are a vibrant and inclusive place of learning, where students are encouraged to make friends, reach their full potential, and embrace a wide range of extracurricular opportunities. Our Wellbeing and Learning Support Teams plays a crucial role in nurturing the social, emotional, and academic needs of our students, ensuring ongoing continuity of learning as they transition from primary school through each year level to the senior school.
We take immense pride in offering a challenging and rigorous curriculum that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to be successful. Our wrap-around support structures work closely with families to ensure that students can access the assistance they need to benefit their learning and wellbeing. With a diverse range of subjects and pathways, we cater to the broad spectrum of student interests, ensuring all students remain engaged and successful in their learning journeys.
Student engagement is essential for learning, and our innovative teaching staff set high expectations, encouraging and challenging students to do their best. Tempe High School offers a variety of extracurricular opportunities, including clubs, an extensive music band and ensemble program, and a range of sporting activities. Driven by innovation, opportunity, and excellence, our programs and initiatives reflect our dedication to providing the best educational experience for our students.
