Welcome to Birdwood High School

Our school is a vibrant community which is underpinned by our core values, Respect, Resilience and Empathy along with our school motto ‘Labor Omnia Vincit’, Hard Work Conquers all. These values are reinforced through our sub-schools in conversations with students and formally during Advisory, Connected Learning, events and assemblies.

Driven by a dynamic and inclusive learning environment, we will empower and inspire students to be resilient, empathetic and adaptive learners, who strive for personal excellence in a rapidly changing world.

Our commitment is to provide parents, and students with a school community where every child can have a valued role and achieve success, through engaging in creative and supportive learning experiences. Our students are actively supported by quality teaching that provides a positive and supportive learning environment.

As a school we support our students to be lifelong learners, build positive relationships and be informed global citizens. Students are encouraged to engage in leadership roles, enjoy a broad range of cultural, sporting and community learning experiences to achieve their personal best. Birdwood High School offers a specialist Agriculture program and we are fortunate to have a working farm that provides students with opportunities that they cannot get in other high schools.

I welcome you to Birdwood High School and invite you to visit our school on a Principal tour or enrolment interview to experience it for yourself.
