Bonnyrigg High School is centred in the suburb of Bonnyrigg and draws students from the areas of Bonnyrigg, Mount Pritchard, Cabramatta West, Edensor Park and surrounding areas. The school features a broad curriculum and concentrates on the development of students to reach their maximum potential. This is achieved by providing an excellent learning environment, a caring school community, and a wide range of facilities for students' use, comfort and learning. The school has outstanding programs, both academic and welfare, which have resulted in many Bonnyrigg High School students achieving individual success resulting from their experiences at this school.
