Lurnea High School is a comprehensive, co-educational secondary school located in the city of Liverpool. The school serves a diverse community of learners with 84% of students having a language background other than English (LBOTE) and of that number 40% require EAL/D (English an additional language or dialect) support. There are 715 students including 32 students of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background.

The school has a Support Unit of 101 placements for students with mild, moderate intellectual delays and autism. The school also has an Intensive English Centre (IEC) catering for the English language learning needs of newly arrived migrant and refugee students (numbering between 85- 120 annually).

The provision of rich, accessible, flexible and creative learning experiences lies at the heart of the ways students and staff thrive and learn at Lurnea High School through a growth mindset of increasing educational attainment for every student every year. In the HSC 2025, Lurnea High School was named as one of the most improved schools across the state. Consistent growth in HSC attainment, alongside improvement in a wide range of student performance measures including NAPLAN, places the school among the strongest improvers statewide.

It is an inclusive school united by a shared aim for young people to be active, engaged learners, creative, critical and innovative thinkers and responders; who are respectful, responsible, fair, tolerant and understanding citizens.

Lurnea High School works in partnership with parents, families and the wider community to extend learning beyond the school gates to ensure that students are connected to resources and opportunities that promote resilience and inspire lifelong learning.
