Camden Haven High School is a rural school in New South Wales, Australia. Consisting of over a thousand students, the school presents both distance educational and face-to-face education. The school is 2 km off the Pacific Highway turning East at the Kew traffic lights intersection.
Camden Haven High School (CHHS) opened in 2000. A united school culture has been developed by establishing across school management, curriculum and special programs working teams. The school was formed as an amalgamation of the secondary schooling at Kendall Central School, now Kendall Public School, and a distance education centre at Port Macquarie.
Face-to-face students are drawn from the local Camden Haven community and distance education students enrol from the Central Coast to Coffs Harbour and inland from the New England Highway, Armidale as well as Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands. The school also runs Distance Education (DE) courses for Face-to-Face students when the Face-to-Face class numbers are too low.
CHHS has a strong reputation in achieving significant results, particularly in the Performing Arts and Sport.
Being a large and comprehensive high school, over 120 teachers attend the school each day, including 4 deputy principals and 20 head teachers. Currently the Principal is Margaret Hutchinson. Previous principals include Greg Hyde and Beverley Theobald.
