A warm welcome to our ‘Friends of the School
To our wonderful community of volunteers, supporters, advocates, mentors, coaches, and everyone who works tirelessly behind the scenes, we offer our deepest gratitude.

Our 2025 ‘Friends of the School’ High Tea was truly exceptional. Guests were welcomed with expertly made barista-style coffee by our Year 11 Hospitality students, while our Year 10 Food Technology classes created an impressive array of savoury bites, cakes, slices, and specialty treats. It was a delightful morning, enriched by a strong sense of community and the joy of gathering together. Attendees enjoyed the very best of UHS hospitality as students and supporters shared in the occasion. We offer special thanks and congratulations to our Hospitality staff and students for their outstanding efforts, whose professionalism and skill ensured the event was an overwhelming success.

From CHS State representatives to our weekly School Sport MVPs, the assembly highlighted the depth of talent within our school community and the commitment of our students to representing UHS with pride. A number of major awards were presented on the day, including the Marlin Medal, Regional Blue, Team of the Year, and our highly anticipated Sportsperson of the Year awards. Congratulations to Cheyenne Murray, recipient of the Outstanding Performance of the Year Award, Bodhi Charlton as Junior Sportsperson of the Year, and Annabelle Healey as Senior Sportsperson of the Year. We also celebrated the incredible achievement of the Open Girls Touch Football Team, crowned Team of the Year after an outstanding season finishing equal ninth in the state. The assembly also acknowledged an impressive group of Coaches Award recipients, recognising excellence across more than 40 different school and representative teams. Another highlight of the afternoon was the announcement of our 2025 Carnival Champions, with Daringyan winning both the Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, and Guruwin taking out Cross Country. The overall Winning House for 2025 was Gawura, celebrated with a spectacular lighting display and well-deserved applause. The event was also supported by two vibrant Year 10 Dance performances, adding energy and creativity to the celebration. It was incredible to celebrate the overwhelming talent and participation of our sporting students and see the growth in numbers over the years. We thank the PDHPE department, office staff, and other school staff, parents, and coaches for their support this year. A huge thank you to everyone whose behind-the-scenes efforts helped make this event possible. Your dedication and support are truly appreciated. Congratulations once again to all students recognised—your achievements are something our whole school community is incredibly proud of. We look forward to another exciting year of sport at Ulladulla High School in 2026.

CHS Beach Volleyball Success

Our students made history last Friday as they travelled to Newcastle for the inaugural Pilot CHS Beach Volleyball event. With limited spots available, the team showed incredible determination to get there, and Grace Donnelly and Myra Williams proudly stepped up to compete in the boys division. Liam Doherty and Elliott Owen completed the team and they were all outstanding, going undefeated all day in extremely hot conditions. Their hard work, weekend training and passion for the sport paid off, claiming  1st place  in a thrilling final of the 9/10 competition. With beach volleyball pushing to become a recognised CHS sport - and some saying it’s the best sport there is - our students have certainly helped lead the way. Congratulations to all involved!
