Macquarie Fields High School (abbreviated as MFHS ) is a public co-educational comprehensive secondary day school , located in Macquarie Fields , a south-western suburb of Sydney , New South Wales , Australia.
Established in 1981, Macquarie Fields High School caters for approximately 1,000 students from Year 7 to Year 12 .[2] The school administered by NSW Education Department and caters for the local community as a comprehensive high school for Grade 7–12 with the first HSC being sat in 1986.[3] [4]
History [ edit ]
The first Principal was Don Harwin and his Deputy was Mike Wilson. Harwin began in 1981 with approximately fourteen staff members and was appointed to Menai High School in 1988 with Mike Wilson as the Deputy Principal.[5]
Future Teacher's Club [ edit ]
This initiative allows students to experience first-hand teaching. Students plan and teach lessons to younger grades during 'Teach Week'. Additionally club-members participate with annual visits to University of Sydney , allowing them to partake in insightful discussions and activities with current university students studying secondary education.[6] As tradition, students also have annual excursions to Yanco Agricultural High School , a selective school in Leeton , in south-western New South Wales, giving students rural experiences of schooling. The initiative has been successful as Australia's first Future Teacher's Club; with over 300 club members as of March 2024.[7]
The hall was refurbished following an arson attack in 2009.[8] In 2009, Macquarie Fields High School was selected as one of thirteen primary and secondary schools around the state to become Centres for Excellence.[9] [10] The school will receive special sponsorship and focus from The Street University , a prestigious university located near the CBD , students selected on the basis of academic excellence and school community involvement will receive a scholarship for their courses.[11] [12] [13]
