Wanneroo Secondary College is an Independent Public secondary school in Wanneroo, a suburb 22 kilometres (14 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia.

Overview

The school was established as Wanneroo High School in 1977, starting out with 180 Year 8 students. At the time, the school was the northernmost high school in Perth, with students coming from as far as Yanchep. In 1987, David John Holthouse, a student at Wanneroo Senior High School won the Beazley Medal, the most prestigious academic award for secondary school students in Western Australia. By 1988, the school had changed name to Wanneroo Senior High School. The school was renamed again in 2013 to Wanneroo Secondary College, coinciding with it becoming an Independent Public School.[3][4]

In May 2012, an upgrade was announced to give the school adequate facilities for the transition of Year 7 students to high school in 2015.[5] The $4.34 million upgrade was opened in May 2014, under the original $6.2 million budget.[6] It included five new classrooms, a new science laboratory and science preparation area, computer hub and staffroom.[7] In 2015, the school opened to Year 7 students for the first time, alongside most other public high schools in Western Australia.

In December 2019, construction started on an upgrade to sports facilities at Wanneroo Secondary College. The $5 million upgrade included a new sports hall and improvements to existing tennis courts. The upgrade was one of Labor's 2017 election commitments.[8][9] It was completed in November 2020, a month ahead of schedule.[10][11]

In December 2022, the new Performing arts center was completed & opened to students at a cost of $6.2 million[12] going overbudget from the original plan of $5 million for both the Performing arts center and canteen,[13] due to this the Plans for the upgraded canteen never went forward.

In May 2023, The State Government announced it will invest $12.4 million to establish a new inclusive education support program and associated facilities at Wanneroo Secondary College[14] to cater for 80 students with low to moderate needs to take pressure off Belridge Secondary College.
