HISTORY OF CHATHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Planning on Chatham High School began in the early 1960s when the public school's P & C Association saw a need for a new local high school when Taree High School began to become over crowded. Chatham High School was established in February 1965, with 280 pupils and 14 teachers located at Taree High School. Students first moved into the current location on Thursday, 31st March 1966.
