Overview

Melville Senior High School welcomes students from many different backgrounds into a caring and supportive environment. It has a long and successful tradition of catering for international students from countries such as China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

Students are able to select from an extensive list of courses of study that are either wholly school assessed or tertiary entrance scored that will allow students to enter the workforce or continue post secondary education at TAFE or university.

The school has established special links with neighbouring Murdoch University and graduates from Melville Senior High School have direct entry to nursing at the Rockingham Campus of Murdoch University.

These programs are available to international fee paying students. Interested students should contact the school for information about application procedures.

> Uni-track Media (year 12) allows selected students to study media subjects at Murdoch University.

> Flight and Aeronautics (years 8-12) aims to develop an interest in flying leading to a private pilot’s licence. The school uses the facilities at nearby Jandakot airport and the expertise of trained flight instructors. Entry is by test and interview.

> Netball (years 8-10) focuses on the development of skills and techniques directly linked to talent identification programs and leads to qualifications in coaching, umpiring and leadership in recreation studies. Students are selected for this program by testing and trials.

English Support

Melville Senior High School has had an Intensive English Language Centre for a number of years catering for students from years 8 to 12. The aim of the centre is to help newly arrived migrant children assimilate into Western Australian government schools and to improve their English and literacy skills. Students are eligible to study English for up to four terms before entering a mainstream educational context where ongoing English as a second language support is maintained. As well as the eleven teachers working in the centre, many other teachers in the school are trained in teaching English as a second language.
