Sister schools
[edit] |
Mudgee High School has formed close links with several sister schools over the world including the Japanese Kita senri High School in Osaka, Japan, Nose Senior High School, and Ibaraki Nishi High School and, in East Timor, St. Francis of Assisi High School, in the town of Fatuberliu.
Every even year (Ex: 2022), a group of Mudgee High students and teachers make their way to Japan to further their study of the Japanese culture and language. The opposite occurs later in the same year when a group of Japanese students and teachers make their way to Mudgee.
Aurora College
[edit]Mudgee High School caters for Aurora College. Aurora allows students in rural and remote areas to remain in their local school and community while studying specialist subjects which their home school cannot currently offer. The school library has a distance education / Aurora room where Aurora lessons are held.[8]
