Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Lambton High School! We are proud to offer a warm, supportive community centred on our CORE values: Respect, Responsibility, Excellence, and Integrity. Every student here is encouraged to be their best, not only in academic achievement but also in character and leadership.

We use digital tools like CANVAS to enhance learning and keep students organised and connected. Whether you are a prospective family or part of our community, we invite you to join us in creating a positive and inspiring environment where every student can thrive. I look forward to working with you as we shape the future together.
