Yass High School provides quality education in a safe and happy environment. We strive for academic excellence whilst developing self-esteem, self-discipline and a strong social conscience. Policies and practice reflect a balance between discipline and welfare. Features of school organization include: a diversified curriculum achieved through vertical integration where appropriate; small class sizes; a strong commitment to excellence in a wide range of extra curricula activities including band, drama, public speaking and debating; a strong commitment to personalized service in feed-back to parents; providing students with access to a wide vocational education and training program supported by an active local committee; an experienced, highly trained teaching staff; a wide range of services for students with disability including a specially staffed Support Unit; and academic standards that compare very favourably with schools of comparable size and situation.
