Detectives from the state crime command’s child abuse squad arrested the 49-year-old man from his Corlette home about 8.30pm on Thursday, February 11.
It is alleged the man had sex with the female student in September and October 2015 while he was a teacher at the same Port Stephens school.
He was taken to Raymond Terrace Police Station where he was charged with two counts of having sexual intercourse with a person under special care.
He was granted strict conditional bail and will appear at Raymond Terrace Local Court on March 8.
A police statement said detectives are working closely with the principal of the high school and the Department of Education.
