Woolooware High is a comprehensive secondary school in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, Australia. It was established in 1967 and took its first class in January 1968.[1]

Woolooware High is known for participation and success in performing arts, sport and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The school has had success in the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge.[2]

Several students from WHS competed in and won the Science and Engineering Challenge, held at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation.[3]

Woolooware High became a participant in the White Ribbon program in 2014 and was officially accredited as a "White Ribbon" school in 2016.[4]

On 29 January 2016, Woolooware High was one of a number of schools across New South Wales which were evacuated following threatening phone calls that students were in danger. The calls turned out to be a hoax.[5]
