Welcome from our principal
"As principal, I’m proud to lead a school where every student is known, valued and supported. We believe in the power of public education to create real opportunities and help young people grow into their best selves.
Dorrigo High School is a safe, welcoming and inclusive place to learn. Our staff work closely with families and the wider community to support each student’s learning, wellbeing and personal growth.
Guided by our school motto, Per Montes ad Lucem — Through the Mountains to the Light — and our core values of being respectful, responsible and resilient, we aim to inspire confident, kind and capable learners who are ready for whatever comes next.
We look forward to welcoming you into our school community."
Mrs Tammy Cameron
