Students can also participate in the school choir, School Spectacular, Talent Quest, Multicultural Concert, and extension opportunities linked to the National Art School. We promote representative sports at various levels, alongside fitness initiatives through PCYC and partnerships with local sporting providers. Additionally, formal student leadership opportunities are available through the Prefect body, SRC, and Sports Council, empowering students to develop their skills and take on leadership roles.
We pride ourselves on strong learning partnerships with business, industry, and academia, including a scholarship support program in collaboration with the Public Education Foundation, Harding Miller, ABCN (Australian Business and Community Network), the Khuda Family Scholarship with the University of Sydney, and various universities. Our in-residence partnership with Story Factory enhances our students' literacy outcomes, and our relationship with Western Sydney University, as well as our participation in the NSW Equity Consortium with the University of New South Wales, further enriches our educational offerings.
Beyond academics, Prairiewood High School prioritises the wellbeing of our entire community, ensuring our students are holistically prepared for success beyond school. We have established strong connections with our local Middle Eastern and Vietnamese communities through weekly engagement groups facilitated by our Community Liaison Officers. Through innovative initiatives like the Wellbeing Hub and dedicated timetabled engagement programs, we strive to enhance student achievement, engagement, and attendance, creating a thriving and supportive school environment.
At Prairiewood High School, we believe in empowering every student to reach their full potential and succeed on their chosen path.
"As a grandfather of three students at PHS, I’ve had the pleasure of joining many of the Community Inclusion Program activities. It’s been a rewarding experience to see how public education in Australia embraces diversity, inclusion, and community connection. I’m grateful for the opportunities my grandchildren have to learn, grow, and feel supported in such a welcoming environment. Public education plays a vital role in shaping not just students, but families and communities, and I’m proud to be part of it. "
