Churchlands Senior High School is an independent public secondary school located in Churchlands, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, approximately eight kilometres (five miles) northwest from the Perth central business district.[1] It is one of the largest schools in Western Australia, with 2,357 enrolled students as of 10 May 2024.

Background and history

[edit]

Churchlands Senior High School (Churchlands SHS) is a co-educational high school for Year 7 to Year 12. The school is located in Perth's western suburbs, three kilometres (two miles) from the Indian Ocean and eight kilometres (five miles) from the city centre.

On 6 November 1991, a female student was murdered in class when she was stabbed 18 times by her ex-boyfriend.[2][3]

On 26 May 1997 the majority of the school was burnt down in a failed attempt to destroy evidence of a break-in. The school was largely rebuilt after spending a few years using demountable classrooms.[citation needed]

On 14 August 2008 the administration block was badly damaged by fire as a result of arson, and demountable offices were brought in to the school.[4] The time taken for refurbishment from the time of the fire until completion was over 13 months.[citation needed]

In 2011 Churchlands SHS joined the Education Department's Independent Public Schools programme.[citation needed]

Academic status

[edit]

Churchlands Senior High School students have received many major awards including three Beazley Medals. For the 2009 TEE, Churchlands was the highest ranked public school, based on the number of students who scored 75% or more over four subjects. For the 2008 TEE, Churchlands was the second-highest ranked public school, based on the number of students who scored 75% or more over four subjects.[5]

Music

[edit]

Churchlands Senior High School's Gifted and Talented music program has run sincere 1972. Facilities include a 504-seat acoustically engineered concert hall, a music auditorium seating 254, a dedicated choral studio and with instrumental practice rooms. International recognition includes the attainment of honours at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales and at the World Music Festival in Geneva. Student musicians perform for audiences in Australia and overseas with three-yearly tours to Europe, Asia and North America.

Ensemble performance is an integral part of the Churchlands music experience, and the performing ensembles include choirs, concert bands, orchestras, chamber groups, and guitar ensembles. To enter any level of the music program students must complete tests and auditions. Those who win a place in the program undertake an intensive course that is both practical and theoretical.

Enrolment patterns

[edit]

Churchlands SHS is the largest school in Western Australia, with 2,758 students in 2021.[16] Churchlands had 34 temporary transportable classrooms in 2018 to accommodate increasing student enrolment.[17] The creation in 2020 of Bob Hawke College, 5 km (3.1 mi) away in Subiaco, was intended to decrease pressure on Churchlands and other schools in the western suburbs.[18]
