It has started implementing a new student welfare policy during 2013 that embraces Positive Behavior for Learning (PBL) with the three focus areas of Safe, Respectful, Responsible and are currently in the early stages of adopting a policy of Bring You Own Device (BYOD).
During the Building The Education Revolution (BER) the school gained a brand new Hospitality Trade Training Centre which has been named 'The Inner Quad Cafe' and a Metals and Engineering upgrade Trade Training Centre.
The school is part of the Cudgegong Learning Community (CLC).

At the beginning of Year 7, all Mudgee High School students are placed in one of the following four houses, usually on the basis of their last name.
