We strive to provide a holistic and inclusive education for all learners, fostering resilience and creating curious, confident, respectful and responsible learners. The Cowra community has high expectations of educational achievement for all students. Staff professional learning is strategically planned with a focus on instructional leadership where all students are working towards achieving more than one year’s growth for one year of learning. Cowra High School is committed to developing a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture as a path to reconciliation and a positive future. Students pursue excellence through engagement in academic, sporting, cultural and creative and performing arts. We embrace a variety of cultures and celebrate this in all we do.

In addition, the sharing of culture of our First Australians is embedded in everyday life at Cowra High School.
