Overview

Rockingham SHS is set in tranquil grounds approximately 35 kilometres south of Perth. It offers a unique sub-school structure which caters for a diverse range of student interests. Students can choose from either the Maritime and Human Movement, Arts/Humanities or Science/Technology & Enterprise Sub-schools.

Each sub-school has a focus on academic excellence and has unique opportunities for students to engage themselves in extra-curricular activities which strengthen and deepen student learning. Students belong to a small group of students in one of the sub-schools and as such, will become well known by their staff and fellow students, both who have a genuine concern for the safety and wellbeing of each other.

Rockingham SHS has strong links with schools in both Japan and Malaysia and boasts an experienced ESL trained teacher so that students English and language needs will be well catered for. Rockingham SHS has also developed and maintained strong links to both TAFE and Murdoch University (both on our doorstep) as well as a distinguished history of industry links (2001 & 2006 International Business and Industry Partnerships “Global Best School”) which ultimately either employ or further educate our graduates.
