Collie Senior High School has the following Houses:

Our House system helps foster your child’s sense of belonging at school. Being a House member develops team and school spirit through competition in a range of areas such as sporting and academic pursuits.

Our House Leaders play an important role in your child’s life at school. They play a counseling role and help with personal, peer, discipline and emotional issues that may arise from time to time.  

Collie Senior High School has an extensive pastoral care system to support and guide our students. Student Services staff focus on early intervention to assist students in need by establishing effective collaboration between students, staff, parents and external agencies to best support student academic achievement and wellbeing.

We assist in the development of sound emotional, physical, social and psychological health. We promote the school’s expectations of Aspiration – Respect – Commitment - Honesty so that all students experience a sense of belonging and connection with their school community.
