The school has a student population of 900 students with a complement of over 100 teaching and support staff. The staff are dedicated, experienced and stable. The school core values are FRESH, standing for FAIR, RESPECT, EFFORT, SAFE and HONEST. All that we do at Maclean High School can be linked to these values.
The school has first class facilities. The rebuilding program of the 90’s upgraded our facilities. Facilities include a performance space, gymnasium, modern spacious library, rowing shed, state of the art home science, industrial technology and science blocks. The school also has very good sporting and creative arts facilities. The school farm occupies 2¼ hectares of river floodplain. The school also has a brand new Trade Training Centre specialising in construction. In 2017 all teaching spaces have been air conditioned.
The school is guided by the philosophy of developing each individual student to his or her full potential whether that be in an academic, cultural, sporting or social sense. All educational programs developed in the school are directed at improving and maximising the development of the all-round personal skills of each student. It is worthwhile noting the levels of excellence achieved recently in academic performance, music, drama, debating and public speaking, in addition to our legendary performances in regional and state sporting contests. Gifted and Talented students are supported through various programs and special attention from staff.
