Narrogin Senior High School

What Narrogin Senior High School does

Narrogin Senior High School is a public government secondary school in Narrogin, Western Australia, established in 1955 and operating as an Independent Public School under the Western Australian Department of Education. It delivers Years 7 to 12 education to students drawn primarily from the Upper Great Southern region of the Wheatbelt, with the Narrogin Residential College extending its reach to provide boarding for distant students. The school offers a standard secondary curriculum augmented by specialist programs including a Sports Academy, Vocational Education and Training (VET) delivered through the Hilltop Cafe Trade Training Centre, the Clontarf Foundation for Aboriginal male engagement, and Follow the Dream for university aspiration pathways.

The school does not operate as a commercial enterprise and has no disclosed revenue model beyond recurrent and targeted government funding from the WA Department of Education. Its core "products" are educational delivery, vocational certification, and student welfare programs, delivered through a combination of employed teaching staff, partner organizations (South Regional TAFE, IVET, YouthCARE), and community programs. Infrastructure investments include the 2014 Administration and Performing Arts Building and a 2016 Computer Lab with 3D printing equipment, and the school is currently operating under its 2024-2026 School Business Plan. Leadership transitioned from Principal Melissa Walker in 2019 to Janine Keall in 2020.
