Hunter Sports High School is a partially selective public high school with 780 students. Enrolments include students from the local drawing area of Windale, Gateshead, Gateshead West and Mount Hutton (400 students), as well as students selected to participate in the Targeted Sports Program coming from the local area, the Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and beyond (380 students).
The school has just finished a $45 million redevelopment which makes it one of the most modern high schools in the state that promotes innovative teaching practice. The project included 26 new classrooms and 13 specialist classrooms (food technology, wood and metalwork, visual and performing arts), a movement complex with dynamic spaces for assemblies and presentations, canteen and weights room, a library, administration building and reception area.
We are a diverse learning community, including a 21% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, which encourages individuality and excellence, in a supportive environment that fosters respect, responsibility and success. At Hunter Sports High School our goal is to provide a challenging and broad learning environment, balancing academic excellence and sporting achievement. Our aim is to do this through high expectations and community collaboration.
