Welcome from our principal
Warami. Welcome to Cranebrook High School, a vibrant and inclusive learning community where every student is known, valued and cared for.
At Cranebrook High School, we are committed to providing a supportive and engaging environment that nurtures both academic success and personal growth. Our dedicated teachers and staff work in partnership with students and families to ensure that each young person is challenged to achieve their best and supported to develop confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.
We take pride in offering a rich and diverse range of opportunities — from academic extension and wellbeing initiatives to sport, creative arts and cultural programs — that allow every student to explore their interests, discover their talents and contribute positively to our school community.
Our focus on caring, learning and inclusion underpins everything we do. Together, we strive to create a school where everyone belongs, where excellence is celebrated, and where students are equipped with the skills and values they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Welcome to Cranebrook High School — a place of learning, belonging and opportunity.
Warm regards,
