Ingleburn High School is a co-educational, comprehensive, public High School located in Ingleburn, New South Wales, Australia.

The school follows the NSW Board of Studies' standard curriculum, which is provided to all Government schools in NSW. The School's motto is "Tolerance, Integrity and Excellence".[1] The school consists of in excess of 900 students and 70 staff.

There are programmes to support students, from those who are gifted and talented to those that support students with behavioural problems and also for people of specific non-European origins.[2][3] Other programmes available to all students include the school newsletter voucher programme in which students who "collect 3 vouchers from different newsletters"[4][5] may redeem their vouchers for a bronze award from a deputy principal.

The school's latest program is PBIS or "Positive Behaviour In Schools". The program involves students every fortnight to "focus on the positive bahavioural expectations...of all students". Workshops include topics as "discussing with students our expectations regarding...moving around and through corridors and walkways". This program also involves staff in development sessions.[6]

In 2004, the student attendance rate for years 7 to 10 was below both the district and state averages.[7]

Meg Lees, the former head of the Australian Democrats was a teacher at the school in the 1970s.[8]
