Welcome to Burnie High School

At Burnie High School our commitment is to be “an inclusive learning community that fosters curiosity, creativity and innovation.” This commitment is strengthened by our values of Aspiration, Integrity, Respect and Resilience. Every decision that we make at Burnie High School must have a line of sight directly to our commitment and values. Our values are summed up for our students by our daily motto of Best Effort, Honest and Fair, Safe and Secure. This motto is embedded in all aspects of school life.

At Burnie High School we strive to deliver a wide range of programs aimed at developing knowledge, skills and understandings as well as nurturing our students’ personal growth. We promote learning for life, and endeavour to prepare our students to be able to deal with future challenges and triumphs. We create opportunities that we hope will inspire all students to achieve personal excellence, and leave Burnie High School as independent learners who have clear goals and a sense of purpose to make the most of their talents, skills and abilities. Most importantly, we want our students to understand that success comes from hard work and effort.
We are very proud of Burnie High School and we look forward to your association with our school.
