Head Teacher - Social Sciences - Miller Technology High School

Miller Technology High School is a comprehensive secondary school located in Sydney’s South West, with an enrolment of approximately 850 students.  Our community is proudly diverse, with 85% of students from Language Backgrounds Other than English (LBOTE) and 10% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

The school is home to a well-established Intensive English Centre (IEC), which provides English language instruction and cultural orientation for new arrivals, refugees, and international students.  We also have a highly responsive Support Unit comprising seven classes, IM, IO/Autism, and five Autism classes.

Serving a community of low socio-economic status, the school maintains a strong focus on quality teaching, literacy, numeracy, student engagement, and connected learning.  These priorities are central to improving foundational skills, closing equity gaps, and preparing all students for success in Stage 6 and beyond.

Our students benefit from a broad curriculum supported by the school’s Positive Behaviour for Learning (P4BL) core values of Respect, Inspire, Safe, and Excel, which foster a safe, inclusive, and aspirational environment where every student is encouraged to achieve their personal best.

What truly sets Miller Technology High School apart is the commitment of its dedicated staff and the strength of its unique partnerships with universities, industry, and community organisations, which enrich real-world learning opportunities and provide strong pathways for students into post-school education, training, and employment.
