Our Principal and Staff
Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our Relieving Principal
As Relieving Principal of Bass High School, I am incredibly privileged to lead a diverse and vibrant school community where every student is known, valued and supported to achieve their best.
We understand that raising and educating young people is a shared journey, and strong partnerships between home and school are essential. I encourage our parents and carers to connect with us, ask questions, share their perspectives and be active members of our school community. Together, we can ensure our young people feel a strong sense of belonging and know that there are people around them who genuinely care about their success and wellbeing.
We also recognise that school, learning and success can look different for every young person. There is no single pathway that defines achievement, therefore as a school, we are committed to engaging our students in meaningful learning experiences and pathways that recognise their individual strengths, interests and aspirations.
Whether their future takes them to university, further education and training, an apprenticeship, employment or another pathway, our goal is to help every student reach their potential and leave Bass High School with the confidence, skills and direction to take their next steps towards success.
At Bass High School, we hold dear the values of respect, integrity, inclusion and high expectations. We strive to create opportunities for every student to discover their strengths, develop confidence in who they are and aspire towards a future of their choosing.
Our school motto, Tibi Confidas - “Be true to yourself”, sits at the heart of this work. We want every young person who walks through our gates to feel proud of who they are, courageous enough to pursue their goals, and supported to become the very best version of themselves.
