## About

Situated in the suburb of Horningsea Park, John Edmondson High School has a diverse drawing area that includes the recently developed suburbs of Horningsea Park and Greenway Park, as well as the semi-rural and rural areas of Austral, Bringelly, Leppington, and Rossmore. The school is constructed under the Private Public Partnership program, with a facilities management company responsible for maintenance, cleaning, and security.

John Edmondson High School aims to lead in educational excellence, with priority areas from 2015 to 2017 focusing on Leadership and Building Capacity, Enhancing Engagement, and quality teaching and learning across literacy and numeracy. The school develops students' capacity for enquiry, encouraging them to respect their peers and teachers while reflecting on their efforts honestly.

## Programs and Support
The school offers a broad curriculum that includes programs in STEM, sports, and the creative arts, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Tailored learning support is provided to meet the diverse needs of students, including high potential and gifted students, students with disabilities, and those requiring additional wellbeing support.
