Principal’s Message

Welcome to Balcatta Senior High School

We have a long, proud tradition of providing an outstanding education to our students. We are a close-knit community with a clear vision that places our students at the heart of everything we do.

We are an Independent Public School that provides a vibrant and challenging learning environment for all our students. We offer a caring environment where our teachers know their students and can offer a personalised education. Each of our teachers is committed to creating a positive and engaging learning environment in which students can achieve their full potential.

We offer a range of different pathways designed to meet the goals and aspirations of our students. We offer a comprehensive program that enables entry pathways to university, Vocational Education and Training, or employment. We provide extensive academic, health and well-being support for students as they journey through high school. Our values of “Respect – Unite – Excel” provide an inclusive ethos amongst students, staff and the community.

Balcatta Senior High School is a part of the Department of Education’s Gifted and Talented Program and offers a selective, elite Gifted and Talented Program in Visual Arts, an Approved Specialist Program in Dance, and a Saturday morning Young Masters’ Program in the Visual Arts for primary students in Years 5 and 6.

We encourage you to contact us to visit our school for a first-hand view or ring for any other information about our programs.
