Narara Valley High School
The school caters for approximately 762 students in 2022, from year 7 to year 12, of whom eleven percent identified as Indigenous Australians and ten percent were from a language background other than English. The school is operated by the NSW Department of Education; and the current principal is Andrew Skehan.
Extracurricular and co-curricular
Music
The school runs several music programs, including a selective creative and performing arts program and a concert band that frequently plays music at fund-raising events for the school and charity. Music classes are mandatory for all students enrolled in years 7 and 8, and the subject may be continued as an elective if a student wishes.
Academic acceleration program
Until 2018, the school ran an academic acceleration program for highly engaged students who were invited to join a modified class that aimed to complete the HSC a year earlier than the cohort they initially joined with. This class has since been discontinued, replaced by the STEP class at the beginning of 2018.
