Katanning Senior High School

Katanning Senior High School is a unique and distinctive secondary school in the heart of the Great Southern region of WA. At our school, students can engage in a challenging and comprehensive educational program within a caring and nurturing school. Students’ academic and social needs will be met within a school that values Respect, Achievement, Perserverance and Tolerance. Katanning Senior High School’s community is culturally diverse. We celebrate and respect individual differences and work in harmony to ensure success for all students. For example, if for children from a non-English speaking background, additional support is provided to ensure they can develop their English language skills and successfully engage in our learning programs. We offer the Follow the Dream tertiary aspirant program to improve Aboriginal learning outcomes. Aboriginal boys may join the Clontarf Football Academy to improve their educational outcomes, life skills and employment prospects. The Wirrpanda Foundation Deadly Sista Girlz program supports Aboriginal girls in forming positive connections, identities and relationships. Student health and well-being is a priority. Our experienced Student Services Team provides additional support to meet each child’s social and emotional needs. The team includes the school Psychologist, Chaplain, Nurse, Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers (AIEO), and Student Support Officers who work with the one Program Coordinator for Lower School and one for Senior School. Students can participate in extracurricular activities such as Bush Rangers, cultural activities, and various sporting opportunities, including Country Week and regional competitions. We value student leadership and provide many opportunities for students to develop these skills.
