Lambton High School is a co-educational, comprehensive, day school for students from Years 7-12 in the suburb of Lambton in Newcastle, New South Wales operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training. It was founded in 1974 and its current Principal is Mr Martin Rosser.
Some of the teaching staff have received national recognition for their work. One example is Former Head Teacher Science, Mrs Carolyn Hayden (retired now part-time Environmental Coordinator). The school is notable for its traditions such as Green Day, which is held annually.
From 8–10 June 2007, storms and flooding in the Hunter Region of New South Wales affected Lambton High School. The school suffered a small amount of damage (mainly to large trees within the school grounds that had to be cleared prior to student occupation) and was closed from 11–12 June 2007. The school was re-opened on 13 June 2007 to seniors only and was opened to all years on 18 June 2007.
On 29 September 2008, the Federal Cabinet (including Prime Minister Kevin Rudd) attended Lambton High School as part of the Australian Government Community Cabinet Program.
Lambton High School offers a Gifted and talented students (GATS) program to several years with Year 7 students completing a 'Master-Minds' course, Year 8 students completing an Authentic Learning Assessment, select Year 9 students being part of a semester GATS Class completing projects of their choice, and Year 10 students participating in an "Authentic Job Interview" at school. Talented students are asked whether they would like to participate in the accelerated Higher School Certificate and university courses in a wide variety of fields. Some year 10 students are also given the opportunity to participate in a 10 unit University excelleration programme where they can complete 10 units of a field of their choice (provided it is being run).
