Principal's Message
Welcome to the Hunter River High School website and thank you for your interest
in our school.
Hunter River High School is a comprehensive, co-educational school situated on
the Hunter River at Heatherbrae, just south of Raymond Terrace. Some people may
not recognise our name, because it is still fairly new! In May, 2005 the school
officially changed the name it had had for almost fifty years - Raymond Terrace
High School. This move was made to reflect the widespread and diverse
communities our school serves, from Hexham in the south, to North Arm Cove in
the north, and from Lemon Tree Passage in the east to beyond Seaham in the
west.
The school has approximately 730 students, of whom approximately 70 are
Aboriginal young people. Most of these students come from the areas served by
our six partner primary schools – Karuah Public, Raymond Terrace Public, Salt
Ash Public, Seaham Public, Tanilba Bay Public and Williamtown Public Schools.
Our school has two mottoes. The first is our traditional motto “Essayez”, which
is French for “Try”. This is the one that you will find on our school’s badge.
Our second motto is “Quality Relationships – Quality Learning”. We think that
our mottoes express values which we feel are very important.
I hope you enjoy exploring our site.
