At Robert Townson High School, our vision is to equip our students with the academic and work ready skills to enter our 21^st century society. We will do this through authentic academic challenges provided by skilled and committed staff and student development programs built on student needs. This will be provided in a learning environment that is valued and reflective of the 21^st century world of work. 

We are continuing to offer in 2019, a Self Select class for our year 8 stream which will require current year 7 students and their families to apply for and to meet a certain criteria to be selected for this exciting opportunity.

Students in the Self Select class will be a unified group of students that will commit to their learning in all subjects and be given opportunities to be involved in whole class and school projects throughout the year.

Through a wide range of learning opportunities provided by our staff we will endeavour to build and develop our student’s skills to prepare them for the world or work and further learning.
