Established in 1959, Governor Stirling Senior High School has a proud history of academic and sporting excellence based on an educational experience that promotes respect, hard work and achievement.
Our students enjoy a positive and supportive learning environment responsive to their particular abilities and learning style. Our experienced teachers encourage students to imagine the possibilities, create opportunities and achieve their dreams.
To enrich the learning experience of each child we offer a suite of programs including Gifted & Talented, Specialist Engineering, Specialist Artsmedia, Specialist Australian Rules Football and school based programs in Academic Extension, Netball, Dance, Music, Aboriginal Education and nationally accredited vocational certifications. Rebuilt in 2012, today our students have access to a $63 million dollar state-of-the-art school campus, specialist teachers and links to various tertiary and industry bodies.
The Netball Program involves four contact hours per week consisting of both theory and practical based content.
This course is designed around 4 key outcomes – performance, composition, analysis and socio-cultural context.
VET opportunities are available to Year 11 & 12 students and provide access to further education and training pathways.
The Maali Centre provides Aboriginal students with an inviting and culturally suitable environment.
Delivered in partnership with universities and industry, the Specialist Program in Artsmedia provides students with in-depth industry knowledge and access to the latest technology to develop their skills in visual arts, digital and game design, film and television, journalism and photojournalism.
Governor Stirling Senior High School is Western Australia’s specialist engineering school. Students will be taught by highly skilled teachers and industry experts and engage in real life engineering projects, workshops and competitions.
The Football Program has achieved enormous success in developing rising stars in the AFL and WAFL in cooperation with junior clubs & District Development Squads.
We are very proud of how our past student’s leanings have turned into opportunities in the real world.
The GOVO Goodness Collection Service (GGCS) is a community collection hub run by a small committee group within the school.

We look forward to the amazing contributions and leadership these two wonderful Year 12 students will bring to our school community! ... See MoreSee Less
It was lovely to see our new Year 7 students excitedly participating in a "code-breaking" exercise in the library, led by our librarian, Ms Russo, and Year 7 & 8 Coordinator, Gemma Francis. What a fantastic way to kick off the first day of high school, combining learning with fun and teamwork, all while staying cool! It's great to see our students engaging in such creative activities and starting their high school journey with enthusiasm. We're looking forward to more exciting experiences ahead! ...
