Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.
Welcome from our principal
Cammeraygal High School is a dynamic, coeducational 7–12 comprehensive school operating across two campuses in Crows Nest (Pacific Highway for Years 7–9 and West Street for Years 10–12). Established in 2015 with 120 Year 7 students, Cameraygal has expanded to approximately 910 students by 2024. Enrolment capacity is expected to be exceeded in 2025, limiting local admissions.
As a unified dual-campus school, Cammeraygal serves all Year 7–12 students with strong parental engagement supporting its personalised education, creative arts, and student leadership programs. The school fosters a collaborative culture focused on academic excellence, differentiation, and inclusive, quality teaching. We prioritise holistic student development by offering diverse opportunities that build skills, confidence, and wellbeing.
