A message from<br />
the Principal....<br />
Welcome to <strong>Arthur</strong> <strong>Phillip</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. We have a very strong historic tradition in Parramatta and are proud<br />
of the way our multicultural education community operates. We are a 21st century city school with 1500<br />
students: one of the largest schools in the state.<br />
We believe our students must also be technologically literate if they are to compete in the complex world of<br />
work in the 21st century. One to one laptop learning has been a feature at the school for many years. We<br />
are pleased to be implementing many new ways of working with technology across the school. We teach<br />
the children of the new millennium: we are keen to ensure our students find school relevant and engaging<br />
so that they are always able to make real world connections with what they are learning.<br />
Our teachers are well trained and committed to excellence. We have implemented quality teaching strategies<br />
across the curriculum. We have introduced innovative IT programs in the junior school to ensure our students<br />
are able to communicate effectively and research using the internet and a range of multimedia programs.<br />
Our senior students perform well in HSC examinations: we offer the full range of courses, including extension<br />
1 and 2 in English and Mathematics. Department of Education data of our students’ performance in all<br />
external examinations indicates that we add significant value for our students.<br />
Our student leadership programs have a strong social justice focus: student leaders represent us at state<br />
and regional levels. A commitment to the rights and responsibilities of effective citizenship is an important<br />
part of the school’s philosophy as a public school.<br />
We are very pleased that we have been given additional funding from the Commonwealth Government<br />
in the form of National Partnerships funding which will will allow us to further enhance the programs and<br />
initiatives already underway for our students.<br />
