In 2003, Reece High School became the first school outside of the North American continent to win the prestigious James D. MacConnell Award for school facility excellence.  After being razed to the ground following an arson attack in 2000, Reece High School was completely rebuilt and is now recognised as the best planned, designed, and technologically advanced school in the world.

Reece High School is committed to its community and to realizing each individual's potential through creativity, enterprise, communication and teamwork.
