In 2024 we have approximately 1900 students enrolled, approximately 150 of whom are in the specialist science program for Year 11 and 12 students, Elizabeth Blackburn Sciences.
This is a select-entry program, but UHS itself is a neighbourhood, not a select-entry, school.
In 2024, the school is in the third year of a new Strategic Plan and a new leadership structure, with a strong focus on student relationships and connection to school; and on emphasising student learning growth through responsive teaching.
The school's values have recently been redefined.

Curiosity: We are open to new ideas about the world and each other.
We seek to learn, explore and understand.Kindness: We treat each other and our world with respect, humanity and empathy.Excellence: We uphold high standards, challenging ourselves to grow in all we do.
We persevere and show resilience to be our best.Connection: We know that we are stronger together.
We work to ensure that all belong equally in our community.Students are expected to engage with all aspects of the formal curriculum and recognition is given to both outstanding achievement and to positive participation.
The co-curricular program caters for a wide range of student interests and abilities and student participation at all levels is fostered.
Student voice and leadership is embraced within the school and at all levels through a variety of forums.
The school's curriculum encompasses the breadth of Domain learning areas with students undertaking a wide choice of subjects.
A focus on breadth of experience permeates Years 7-9 whilst individual pathways and choice are the core at the senior level.
Year 9 students participate in The Galileo Program, an enquiry-based program that encourages the development of life-long learning skills through a rich inquiry and community-based curriculum for one term of the year.
Year 8 students participate in a Renaissance Program with the principles of ethical, creative and critical thinking at its core.
