There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.
A year at our school
On February 12th, 2025, our annual Swimming Carnival took place at the Maclean swimming pool, blessed with a sunny day that set the perfect backdrop for a day of fun and competition.
Our Year 9 and 10 students have been making waves this term with their engaging Kayaking Program, taking full advantage of our unique access to Biirrinba (the Clarence River in Yaygirr). This free school sport has provided an incredible opportunity for students to learn and practice in a stunning natural environment right from our school yard.
ANZAC Day is a significant occasion for Maclean High students to honour the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Maclean High School students represented their school and community in ANZAC Day marches and ceremonies in the communities of Maclean, Iluka and Yamba, emphasising the importance of remembering our history and recognizing the courage and commitment of those who served.
The 15th River of Learning Celebration Day
held as part of Reconciliation Week, was a huge success. The day included a special morning tea for the Elders in the library. The whole school then went to the sports courts for an assembly and a smoking ceremony where awards were given to students from Year 7-12 who have consistently exhibited the characteristics of Reconciliation.
The 2025 Maclean High School EKKA Show Team arrived in Brisbane on Saturday, 2nd August, for a week's competition amongst the nation's top breeders and cattle producers. The team consisted of 19 head of cattle, the youngest only seven days old, 12 students, three staff, three parents and volunteers.
The Senior Study Hub at Maclean High School is now open! This quiet, supervised space provides personalised academic support for senior students, focusing on assessment tasks, workload management, and HSC preparation with resources like past papers, revision guides, and practice exams. A tutoring program will start next term.
