School Profile

Jerramungup District High School is located in the wheat and sheep farming community of Jerramungup, 440km south east of Perth. It is situated within the Fitzgerald Biosphere which is part of the acclaimed Fitzgerald National Park, located nearby to the east of Jerramungup. Nearby to the south is the coastal community of Bremer Bay. The school currently caters for students from K to 10. Students from five small towns and communities in the region attend Jerramungup District High School for their secondary education. Jerramungup works very closely with these schools to ensure that the transition between the two is seamless. A school bus service is available to transport students to the school from each community and farm in the region.  Other educational facilities in Jerramungup include a day care centre and a community resource centre.

With the school motto 'Strive to Achieve', students achieve high standards of academic and social achievement through participation and engagement in the school's inclusive, safe and stimulating learning environments.

Consistent educational programs across the school creates stability and knowledge of the ongoing needs and interests of the students. The school endeavours to immerse students in a range of cultural and  curriculum enrichment, academic extension, sporting events and camps.  School facilities include a computer laboratory, science laboratory, home economics room, design and technology centre, Kindergarten and Pre-primary centre, library, a 25m swimming pool, canteen, oval and a large enclosed undercover assembly and activity area. All classrooms have access to iPads & laptops which are networked throughout the school and have access to the internet. The school also has access to the nearby indoor sport and recreation stadium to participate in a range of indoor sports, as well as a refurbished recreation facility across the road in the local park which is well utilised by staff.  Our JDHS school bus also allows all students to participate in a range of sporting & cultural events across the Great Southern competing against a number of local Primary Schools, Senior and District High Schools.

Parents and local businesses willingly provide partnerships with the school to support and participate in the schools’ educational and recreational program. Both the P & C and the School Council play an important and active role in the school.
