Woonona High School is providing a gateway experience program for Year 6 students to gain authentic experiences of our HPGE program, including CAPA, sport and leadership. Students may apply for either one or multiple programs as they will run fortnightly on alternative weeks. This program aims to enrich students' knowledge and skills across subject areas through a range of bespoke experiences.
These experiences will suit students who are seeking to access HPGE specialist programs in their local high school to enjoy the social and emotional benefits of local school attendance coupled with the peer effect benefit of participating in learning with students of the same interests and abilities.
Students who are interested in applying for this program should complete the attached application form, in their own handwriting. Paper copies are available at each school office.

Woonona High School would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Wodi Wodi, Five Island Dreaming and Dharawal People as they are the traditional custodians and carers of Country, on whose land we stand.
We acknowledge the local Dreaming stories with connections to both Sandon Point and Bellambi Point, and respect the rich and resilient Aboriginal culture that is still alive today.
Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Woonona High School’s connection with Country gives us the opportunity to explore the land, waters and wildlife that surrounds us. This relationship shapes our journey and the stories we create through learning.
We are grateful for the sacred land that we meet, share, learn and grow on. Together we will continue to inspire the school and local community by moving forward through our values of excellence, innovation and success.
We must always remember this land is, was and always will be Aboriginal land.
