Spending the day with Murray MP Helen Dalton on Thursday, it was clear any possible tension from vocal displeasure about the merged Wade and Griffith High Schools was put away to get the "best educational outcomes" for our students.

Burning issues raised in meetings with the merged Wade and Griffith High School communities, were teacher shortages and incentives to attract and keep educators, timetabling and movement between the two sites, and leadership.

"A lot of [students] were really happy with the options they had in subject choices ... but we talked about a few teething issues with the timetabling, moving between sites," Ms Mitchell said.

In August last year, the minister announced five new positions would be given to MRHS. Commentary at the time suggested it would be difficult to fill those positions with little financial incentives or future job security.

"[Attracting staff] has been raised at both sites, but also I met with principals from primary schools in the area, so I think it's an issue for Griffith and the area as a whole, and also for regional NSW ... in terms of what incentivisations are in place to bring and retain people in regional communities."

With the University of NSW releasing an interim report raising major red flags with the super-school, especially relating to staff morale, Ms Mitchell said it was about looking at the recommendations and working together with the school community to achieve them.

"I think we are a year in, I think we have to make sure we have the right practices and systems in place, and any way we can work with the school community to make this a success, that is what I want to see.

"We have some fantastic schools, with some really fantastic teachers at both sites, very passionate and articulate students, and I think we need to make sure we talk up the positives of regional communities and that includes our schools."
