Dalyellup College

What Dalyellup College does

Dalyellup College is a Year 7–12 government secondary school operating as an Independent Public School under the Western Australian Department of Education, located in Dalyellup in the Bunbury/Capel region. It was established in its current form in 2013 when the former K–Year 11 college de-merged into two primary schools and a standalone secondary facility; the three schools now constitute the Dalyellup Cluster of Independent Public Schools. The college serves students residing within the Shire of Capel local intake area, with out-of-area enrolments subject to availability.

The school delivers a standard secondary curriculum aligned with the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCASA), supplemented by four senior pathways: ATAR preparation, vocational education and training (VET), the Murdoch University FlexiTrack High university-access partnership, and school-based traineeships and apprenticeships. Differentiated offerings include three specialist programs — AMPt (Advanced Music Performance and Training), Studio Visual Art, and PEX (Physical Education Extension) — and a network of seven Registered Training Organisation partnerships (COSAMP, CARTEC/Fast Start, IVET, Ripponlea Institute, South Regional TAFE, Health Science Hub, Bunbury Regional Trade Training Centre). The Positive Behaviour Support framework (Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Your Best) governs school culture, supported by a student services team, chaplaincy delivered via Youth Care, and a Breakfast Club.

Revenue is generated via state government per-student funding through the Department of Education Western Australia; the school does not charge tuition. Parents may access the Secondary Assistance Scheme ($235 Educational Program Allowance to the school, $115 Clothing Allowance to parents/guardians) subject to Centrelink or Veterans' Affairs concession cards. Administrative and parent-engagement operations run on third-party platforms Compass (day-to-day communication, attendance, payments, canteen) and Connect (parent portal for assessments and teacher communication); the public website runs on WordPress. Governance is by a School Board, with day-to-day leadership provided by Principal Eloise Kyneur, two Deputy Principals, a Manager Corporate Services, and year-level coordinators.
