Principal's Message

Welcome to our school Vis Viva website. 

The purpose of this website it to provide information to the school community about Macarthur Girls High School. Navigating from the menu at the top left of the home page, you will find information about:

Our school has a very positive culture. All decisions made at the school are based on our pride values. The students show pride in themselves, pride in our achievements and pride in our school, including its traditions and environment. This acronym PRIDE stands for Participation, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence. The culture of our school is underpinned by this simple yet highly effective values system.

As Parramatta grows to become the new CBD of Sydney, our school is well placed to manage changes arising from Parramatta's new status. The school has been at the forefront of future focused learning for a number of years. It is prepared for changes in teaching methodology and learning spaces required to meet the future skills and capabilities identified for employment. Macarthur Girls High School has been recognised state wide and was selected as an Ambassador School by the NSW Department of Education in 2021. 

We believe that students will achieve to their potential when parents, staff and students work together and support each other to create the best learning environments possible.

I commend this Vis Viva website to you. I hope it provides you with an insight into what makes the learning community at Macarthur Girls High School so unique and why our students enjoy being Macarthur girls.
