Junee High School's relieving principal Terry Vercoe has welcomed the funding.

"This is exciting news - it means we can undertake a whole range of new and exciting programs to further increase students' learning opportunities," he said.

Mr Vercoe said the 2015 school plan, devised with the help of survey results from parents and students, would guide where the extra funding would be used.

"Junee High will be allocating additional staffing resources to introduce Empower into years 11 and 12," Mr Vercoe said.

"Empower is a locally designed program aimed at promoting independent learning in a structured environment.

"Students will benefit by developing an understanding of their learning styles, improved study and revision skills and learning time management and mentoring."

Further resources would be allocated to the student well-being program.

Existing programs including the self-select program, the Junee Run sheep stud program, the commitment to Ngumba-Dal learning community, AgVision, Aboriginal culture program and other curriculum requirements will now continue to be funded and grow.

NSW Education Minister and Member for Murrumbidgee Adrian Piccoli credited the state government for signing up to the Gonski school reforms first.

"It's what NSW public schools have wanted - a significant increase in funding guaranteed into the future, with the greatest benefits flowing to the schools and students with the greatest need," Mr Piccoli said.

"The core of the government's local schools, local decisions reforms is to put decision-making about students and school communities with the people who know them best - the principals, school stuff and parents."
