Principal’s Message

Welcome to Collie SHS

Collie Senior High School is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment where every student can excel. Our moral purpose is to provide high-quality teaching that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and resilience needed to pursue their chosen pathways.

We emphasize three core focus areas: Curriculum and Teaching, Conditions for Learning, and Leadership. These pillars ensure that our lessons are engaging and responsive to the needs of our dynamic community.

Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected in our culturally responsive culture, with a significant Aboriginal student population that enriches our school through shared knowledge and history. We are proud to host programs such as the Clontarf Academy, Shooting Stars, Follow the Dream, and the Stephen Michael Foundation, which support all students in creating successful pathways.

The Student Services team at Collie SHS is dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of our students. As a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) school, we work explicitly with students to understand behavioural expectations and celebrate their successes. Our dedicated staff work closely with students and their families to meet individual goals, ensuring that every student can be the best version of themselves.

Our strong partnerships with local industry and workplaces offer students valuable real-world experiences, facilitating successful transitions into the workforce through apprenticeships and traineeships. Additionally, our collaboration with SW Regional TAFE provides senior students access to over 26 certificate courses, broadening their educational and career opportunities.

Collie Senior High School is committed to providing a fulfilling secondary education for all students in the Collie community, preparing them for a bright and successful future.

History of the School

Strong Tradition and Commitment

Since 1952 Collie Senior High School has delivered academic, university and vocational pathways for the children of the Collie community. We still have high expectations for our students because successful students equal a successful community.

In 1899, the first school in Collie was opened in a rented building by Mr J.T. Blaire with an enrolment of 55. The name of the town was then Coalville and the school was named Coalville School. In 1900, a new, two-roomed school was erected, the enrollment being 110. In 1903 the name of the school was changed to Collie.

For many years from 1924, the original school with its subsequent buildings, catered for both primary and post-primary children and was known as Collie District High School. In 1948, Collie reached the status of a three year High School with an enrolment of 200 post-primary students.

In 1951, the first class of fourth year students was established and in the following year nine students sat for the Leaving Examination (32 students sat for the Junior Examination in 1952).

In 1958 an overall plan was prepared for all buildings on the original site to be converted to High School purposes. These necessitated additional classrooms being erected at Wilson Park and the establishment of a new school at North Collie which was named Fairview.

In 1959, the first stage of conversion and modernisation of the School commenced with the first additions being officially opened on December 1, 1960. Further additions have been made over the years, the most recent of which was the construction of a new Administration block and Staff Room with the upgrade of a number of practical areas and the extension of the library in 2004.
