Welcome to the website of Katanning Senior High School – a proud Independent Public School in the heart of the Great Southern. It is my privilege to welcome you to our school community.
At Katanning Senior High School, students can engage in a challenging and comprehensive educational program within a caring and nurturing school environment.
Katanning Senior High School has implemented ‘Positive Behaviour’ initiatives that support a safe teaching and learning environment where students belong and strive to excel. Students’ academic and social needs are met within a Public School that values Achievement, Respect, Tolerance, and Perseverance. Students’ well-being is supported by two dedicated Program Coordinators in Student Services.
We offer comprehensive courses and pathways responsive to our students’ and the community’s changing needs and expectations.
Our motto, ‘Strive to Excel,’ applies to all students. Our highly professional and experienced teachers are committed to ensuring that all students strive to excel. Students can attend after-school homework classes across various subjects, including the Follow the Dream Program.
The school offers extensive extracurricular programs to enrich students’ experiences at KSHS, including Country Week, Bush Rangers, camps, excursions, and academic challenges.
Small class sizes at KSHS mean we have a lower-than-average student-to-staff ratio, ensuring plenty of individual attention and assistance for students when required, including a small and growing Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) cohort. Senior School students can access additional Australian Tertiary Entrance courses through the School of Isolated and Distance Education and UniReady Program delivered in partnership with Curtin University.
For students in the vocational pathways, Katanning Senior High School provides high-quality facilities, including a state-of-the-art Automotive Trade Training Centre. Our comprehensive Workplace Learning program enables students to access numerous work sites that partner with the school. This Vocational program is enhanced by the opportunity to complete Certificate qualifications within the Senior School timetable.
After leaving school, our students can successfully enter post-school pathways that include tertiary education, apprenticeships, traineeships, and employment.
I invite you to get to know our school further by exploring our website and don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] if you have any queries.
