Principal's message
Welcome to Model Farms High School
Choosing a school is a big decision. We know that parents want a place where their child can not only achieve high academic results and enjoy a wide range of activities but also feel like they truly belong.
At Model Farms High School, our values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, and Results guide everything we do. We foster a positive and inclusive environment where students work cooperatively and take pride in their school community. Responsibility is encouraged through preparedness, honesty, and safe behaviour, while resilience is built by promoting self-regulation and perseverance. Our commitment to results ensures students are punctual, focused, and dedicated to doing their personal best in all learning opportunities. These values form the foundation of our behaviour and wellbeing systems, helping every student thrive both academically and socially.
We celebrate both achievement and effort, and we believe it’s important to nurture qualities like critical thinking, listening, tolerance, and teamwork. Every one of our students is valued, and as educators, we’re committed to helping students grow their strengths and develop new skills.
Megan Clarke, Principal of Model Farms High School
