Hoxton Park High School is a public co-educational high school in Hinchinbrook, New South Wales, Australia.

The school was founded in 1974 in what was then a rural district. Since then, the region has experienced much suburban development, though many students still come from rural areas to the west such as Austral and Kemps Creek. Currently, students are drawn from Hoxton Park Public School, Hinchinbrook Public School and Middleton Grange Public School.

Curriculum

Hoxton Park High School offers a range of courses for students within the fields of English, mathematics, science, social sciences, history, the creative and performing arts, PDHPE/sport and technology. There is a strong academic focus with students supported to achieve their personal best, the introduction of the Self-Select class for Years 7 and 8, and staff working closely with senior students to improve their application and achievement in all areas. Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a particular feature of the school, with students able to select from courses such as Hospitality, Metal and Engineering, Construction, Retail and Primary Industries.

Students have a range of extra-curricular options available for them including sporting teams, the Duke of Edinburgh Award program, public speaking, music and the performing arts, agricultural activities and visual arts. Students are encouraged to take leadership opportunities within the school and community with many students seeking positions within the Prefect Body and the SRC. It is common to see the student leadership team working closely with the local primary schools.
