Camden Haven High School is a rural school in New South Wales, Australia. The school is located about 2 km off the Pacific Highway near the village of Kew.
Camden Haven High School (CHHS) opened in the year 2000. A united school culture has been developed by establishing across school management, curriculum and special programs working teams. The school was formed from an amalgamation of the high school section of Kendall Central School and the distance education centre located, at the time, in Port Macquarie. Kendall Central School became Kendall Public School.
Face-to-face students are drawn from the local Camden Haven region. Students enrolled in the Distance Education School are located in the region from the Central Coast to Coffs Harbour and inland to the New England Highway, (Armidale and Tamworth) as well as from Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands. Face-to-face students are able to enrol in the Distance Education School when face-to-face class numbers in a specific subject are too low. e.g. languages.
CHHS has a reputation in achieving significant results, particularly in the Performing Arts and Sport.
