Mullumbimby High School

What Mullumbimby High School does

Mullumbimby High School is a public secondary school operated by the NSW Department of Education, delivering comprehensive Year 7 to Year 12 education to students typically aged 12–18 in the Brunswick River Valley of the Far North Coast of NSW. Established in 1886 and located at 9 Jubilee Avenue, Mullumbimby, the school serves a diverse intake drawn from rural farming families, coastal villages, semi-urban areas, and households embracing alternative lifestyles, and is situated on the traditional lands of the Bundjalung Nation. Curriculum delivery follows the NSW syllabus across key learning areas (English, Mathematics, Science, HSIE, PDHPE, CAPA, TAS, and Religion and Ethics) using an explicit teaching methodology, with students able to pursue academic, vocational, or combined pathways leading to university entrance or career readiness.

The school's service offering is structured around a core secondary education program supported by additional learning support services (including high-potential and gifted education, EAL/D support, and disability adjustments), a wellbeing function delivered through the Garihma Wellbeing Hub, and an extracurricular program spanning competitive sport, creative and performing arts, cultural events, entrepreneurship, and student leadership. The Muggi Muggi Culture Aboriginal Education program, developed in collaboration with community elders and the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, is a distinctive cultural offering. Digitally, the school integrates Sentral (for attendance and academic reporting) and School Bytes (for payments and parental consent) as parent portal apps, alongside a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for classroom technology use.

The business model is that of a state-government-funded public school: there are no tuition fees, all financial contributions from families are voluntary, and revenue is derived from NSW Department of Education allocations. Enrollment is managed centrally through the NSW eHub portal with guaranteed placement for students residing within the designated local intake area. The school is led by Principal Bree Harvey-Bice and operates under the governance framework of the NSW Department of Education, with no private ownership, shareholders, or commercial revenue streams.
