Principal's message

Mosman High is an exceptional school.

We see our mission as ‘Education for Life’ and we believe that we assist students to progressively accept more responsibility for self-discipline, to develop self-respect, to contribute to the community, to develop a love of learning and to strive for excellence.

The image shows a calm, professional woman seated at a table, facing the camera with her hands folded loosely in front of her on the table. She has shoulder-length dark brown hair with soft waves and is smiling She is wearing a dark ¾ sleeve dress and a white beaded necklace.

We believe that students are individuals with rights and responsibilities and offer an environment that reflects our society and better prepares students for their future lives.

Mosman High was recognised as a Centre of Excellence in Senior Studies for several reasons: a broad senior curriculum; a campus atmosphere conducive to achievement; and HSC results which regularly place us as one of the top performing comprehensive high schools in the state.

Our outstanding facilities allow students to follow their passion supported by an exemplary teaching staff.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mosman High.

Dr Susan Wyatt, Principal of Mosman High School
