Kent Street Senior High School

PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
Kent Street is well known for its Aviation, Cricket and Fashion / Arts Design Specialist Programs and CoRE (Centre of Resources Excellence) Select Entry Program. In addition to these programs, the school offers a broad range of secondary schooling curriculum. We cater to the diverse backgrounds, interests, aptitudes and needs of our student body from Years 7 to 12. Our Senior School courses include both Tertiary and Vocational courses which lead to your child achieving the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

Our staff members are committed to leading educational programs that maximise student engagement through developing high order thinking skills that will equip them for the future. Many of our students take part in National and International excursions that provide unique learning opportunities and life experiences such as tours to Europe and USA.

Our International program is growing and the rich cultural mix has seen courses such as English as a Second Language, Japanese, Media, Drama, Design, Business, Construction, Politics and Food Technology grow in popularity.

The school's excellent facilities and resources include a swimming pool, gymnasium, fitness centre, performing arts centre, aviation centre, two aeroplanes, excellent library facilities, turf wickets and extensive grounds. Our Curtin Trade Training Centre, a joint venture with Como Secondary College located on site at Kent Street, provides state-of-the-art facilities to cater for metals and welding students.

Kent Street prides itself on the wide variety of pathways to success we offer the youth of today. Your child is well supported in their endeavour to achieve.

We have long-standing partnerships with industry and the community for the ultimate benefit of your child. Our relationship with partners such as Virgin Australia Regional Airlines, the WACA, Laing O'Rourke, the Beacon Foundation, the Kentian Society, Rotary and the Rotary Residential College provide many excellent opportunities not available elsewhere.

Here at Kent Street our parents are our most important partners and we value your participation. If you have any comments you would like to make or any suggestions for improvement please don't hesitate to email these to the school on: kentstreet.shs@education.wa.edu.au.

I invite you to make an appointment to tour the school and to discuss your expectations and needs for your child's education and look forward to meeting with you at some time in the future.
