INTRODUCTION
WELCOME TO CRESSY DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL
If you have visited our campus before, you will know that our school is set in a
beautiful location. With views towards the spectacular Great Western Tiers, it’s
hard to imagine a more idyllic location for education.
Our facilities are impressive for a regional school, allowing our learners to branch
into many di昀昀erent areas of interest and passion. Our school is extremely well
cared for, with lovely gardens and outdoor spaces complementing our excellent
classroom environments.
At Cressy, we value connection, kindness and inclusion, and these values
underpin how we approach our work as students and sta昀昀. You will 昀椀nd friendly,
warm and inclusive people wherever you look at Cressy.
As a K-12 combined school, one of the great joys that our adults get to
experience is seeing our learners sometimes make a fourteen year journey
towards adulthood with us, supported by many caring and capable people in
our school community.
Our early years programs – LIFT and LiL – allow families to grow a connection
with Cressy well before Kindergarten, so that our young people can begin school
being well known and ready to learn.
For our learning programs, our passionate and skilled team of teachers and
teacher assistants work hard to ensure that students are supported in the best
ways possible to ensure growth and improvement in the many facets of school.
Our non-teaching sta昀昀 team contribute enormously to our school, with people
in a variety of roles making sure that our school is being run as well as possible
to support our community of learners.
We are committed to developing great people, with opportunities outside of
the normal curriculum allowing for learning that is relevant, real and engaging.
Cressy is a growing school, with almost 400 students coming to our school each
day from K-12. Some of the reasons that families choose Cressy is that we strive
to provide smaller class sizes and have high expectations for e昀昀ort, behaviour,
uniform and how we interact with each other in a friendly and respectful way
each day. Our greatest goal is for our students to drive their own improvement
with the support of their teachers and families. We also love being involved in
the community and providing opportunities for our students to work on projects
that have meaning and relevance.
Now is an exciting time to be at Cressy, with a sta昀昀 team strongly committed
to literacy, numeracy, engagement and inclusion. Our School Improvement
Plan sets out our improvement agenda each year – a copy of this is available
upon request.
Our team look forward to talking with you more about the opportunities
available at Cressy for your young person.
