Orange High School

At Orange High School, we have a strong connection between students, teachers and the wider community. We are committed to providing a learning environment that understands and values maintaining respectful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples our community. We honour and respect the contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have made to the rich history and culture of the school. The vision at Orange High School is to instil pride and empathy for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We will continue to  recognise the true history of Australia and work together in  collaboration to ensure we are doing our part to ensure every student has the opportunity to have a bright future. . We will achieve this by strengthening our knowledge and understanding of  First Nation peoples and cultures to ensure we are fostering a learning environment that is based on the rich and diverse cultures, languages, histories and contributions to our local, regional and national contexts. We will strive to empower all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and peoples in our boarder community to  appreciates, recongises and celebrates diversity. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritages and cultures are present in our school and make our lives richer. We acknowledge and celebrate the contributions that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples make to our school culture. Authentic respect for culture equips students with the skills and experiences to succeed and positively contribute to the Orange High Family and the world beyond the school. The path to reconciliation is not an individual pursuit. It is a collective effort that is based on love, compassion and inclusivity. As a school, we will embed this vision into our daily operations and as a result, we hope to change the world! "We want to be looked up to rather than looked down on" - Shane Robbins Year 11 (2020').
