Shenton College is a public co-educational senior high school, located in Shenton Park, an inner western suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Like many WA high schools, it is a partially selective school with out-of-area students accepted on a number of criteria. It is one of the largest schools in Western Australia,[8] with 2,839 enrolled students as of 10 May 2024.

History

Shenton College was established in January 2001 through the amalgamation of Swanbourne Senior High School and Hollywood Senior High School at a cost of $23.5 million. It was a project headed by the then Education Minister Colin Barnett as part of the Local Area Education Planning (LAEP) process.[9]

The inaugural principal of the college was Pauline Coghlan, who was succeeded by Michael Morgan in September 2008. Assisting the Principal are six associate principals: Christopher Hill, Kristy Watson, Adam Pengelly, Jane Hamburg (Years 11 and 12), Gary Green (Years 9 and 10) and Chantal Simpson (Years 7 and 8).[10]

In February 2009, Shenton College and Newman Senior High School in the Pilbara announced an inter-school partnership.

During a freak storm on 22 March 2010, the school was extensively damaged by heavy hail and torrential rain. As a result, the school was temporarily closed. Students from years 8 to 10 were not allowed back for 8 days.[11][12]

In 2015, Shenton College was expanded to include Year 7 students.[13]

Education

Shenton College draws students from a local intake area (catchment) that includes the suburbs of North Fremantle, Mosman Park, Cottesloe, Peppermint Grove, Swanbourne, Claremont, Mount Claremont, Dalkeith, Nedlands, Crawley, Shenton Park, Daglish, Jolimont, Floreat (south of Cambridge St and Oceanic Drive), Wembley (south of Cambridge Street), Subiaco (south of the Fremantle railway line and west of Station Street) and West Perth (south of Wellington Street).[14]

Shenton also takes a quota of additional students from across Western Australia in a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program. Entry to the program is through the Academic Selective Entrance Test, an annual testing program administered by the Department of Education.[15]

Entry to the Mathematics & Literacy focus High Performance Learning (HPL) program is managed at the school level. Shenton College has student representation in a number of international youth conferences, including TEE Exhibition winners, winning community based competitions such as the West Australian Debating League (State Championship Winners 2004–2007 and 2010), being represented in nationwide competitions and conferences (Evatt Trophy Competition, Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad, United Nations Youth Conference, National Youth Science Forum, Australian National Schools Debating Championships) or being represented in international youth conferences (Australian representatives to the Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN), the Global Young Leaders Conference, the Pacific Model United Nations (PacMUN), the Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition (BYSCC)).[16]

According to Curriculum Council statistics, based on the number of students who scored 75% or more over four TEE subjects, Shenton College was the highest ranked public secondary school in 2009 and 2010.[17] Based on Year 9 NAPLAN results, in 2012 Shenton College was the top ranked comprehensive public secondary school in Australia.[18]

The University of Western Australia and Shenton College continue a partnership known as the Learning Links program, which provides educational and development opportunities for Shenton staff and students. A Memorandum of Agreement for the Learning Links program was signed in November 1999 between the University of Western Australia and Hollywood Senior High School. In 2001, the terms were transferred from Hollywood Senior High School to Shenton College.

The program comprises four major areas for collaboration to create opportunities for learning experiences for students and staff:

  • Work UWA
  • School Management Professional Development
  • Educational Research Professional Development
  • Student Enrichment

In Year 10, Shenton College students are offered work experience at the university in order to enjoy intellectual, social and cultural experiences that UWA has to offer, early in their education. Through Learning Links, Shenton College students have special access to the University of Western Australia and its facilities. For example, the Academic Focus Group students, selected for their outstanding academic potential in Year 11 and 12, are inducted to the UWA Library and have borrowing rights.[19]

Campus

Shenton College was built in 2001 at a cost of $23.5 million[citation needed] on a 13-hectare (33-acre) site bounded by Lemnos Street, Selby Street and Stubbs Terrace. The campus is adjacent to the Shenton Park railway station on the Fremantle railway line.

In 2019, stage 2 of the campus construction was completed at a cost of $46 million, providing facilities for an additional 1,000 Year 11 and 12 students – taking the school's permanent capacity to 2,600 students. The expansion included new general classrooms; specialist classrooms for science, visual and performing arts, multimedia, IT and business studies; food and technology facilities; a new technology and enterprise centre; and a new cafeteria. The gymnasium was extended and new multi-purpose sports courts built.[20]

The modern college buildings are of a pale limestone with colourful interior walls. The school incorporates red-brick heritage buildings of the historical Lemnos Hospital (constructed 1926), including Crete, Borneo and Alamein houses, which have been internally renovated for use as classrooms and offices.[21]

As well as the main sports oval, the school has tennis, basketball, and netball courts; a gymnasium; and Lemnos Field, an artificial hockey turf near Gallipoli and Borneo houses.
