Campbell Town District High School has 20 teaching staff and caters for 245 students from Kindergarten to Year 10. The school's address is Bridge Street CAMPBELL TOWN 7210. Phone (03) 6381 1166. Schools receive an annual resource package for the purpose of providing educational programs for students throughout that year. Schools may also receive other funding from the Department as well as receiving income from other sources. Generally, like the resource package, these funds should be used in the year that they are received. However, in some circumstances, schools may need to carry funds over from one year to the next. A reasonable carry over is 25% of a school's annual resourcing package. As at January 31 2009, Campbell Town District High School has carried over the equivalent of 36% of its annual resourcing package. Schools also receive additional funding to help reduce early years class sizes. The average class size at Campbell Town District High School for groups containing Prep and Year 1 students is 19.
