Transition Day at Katanning Senior High School
On Tuesday, 19 November 2024, Year 10 students from Kojonup District High School and Gnowangerup District High School had an exciting day at Katanning Senior High School for their Transition into Senior School.
Students were welcomed with a comprehensive tour of the school, allowing them to get familiar with the environment they will soon be part of. There were insightful discussions about the various pathway opportunities available to students as they prepare to embark on their senior school journey. Students explored the Trade Skills Centre and Technologies classes, offering a glimpse into the hands-on learning experiences that await them.
The day was filled with learning, exploration, and excitement as students took their first step toward becoming senior students at Katanning Senior High School. We are thrilled to see them embracing this new chapter with enthusiasm!

Year 8 students have designed and produced a healthy main meal as an assessment task last week. The have learned about the importance of macronutrients in main meals, the physical and sensory properties of food, suitable portion sizes and healthy, balanced choices. All students followed a food selection model, “Australian Guide to Healthy Eating” to select their recipe to cook.

Year 9 students were engaged in three career workshops delivered by the SIDE Mini Industry Roadshow today as a part of the Career Taster Program. Students explored different career pathways including rigging, carpentry and hospitality.
To celebrate World Children's Day the student Leadership Group sold nachos at lunch time. What a treat! A big thank you to the parent helpers.
Great job!!
Last week, Year 6 students from primary schools in our region attended Katanning SHS for an exciting transition experience. They were immersed in our day-to-day school life, participating in both MESH (Maths, English, Science, HASS) and Non-MESH (Home Economics, Drama, Digital Technologies, and Design and Technologies) classes. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to explore new subjects and get a feel for high school life. We're thrilled to welcome these future students and look forward to seeing their bright faces again soon!
Great stuff. Thanks KSHS. Our students really enjoyed the two days.
Was great fun for the kids, I was so impressed with their behaviour too!
