Hedland Senior High School is a comprehensive public co-educational high day school, located in South Hedland, Western Australia.

Overview

The school was established in 1964 as a junior high school but became a high school in 1970 and a senior high school in 1971.^{[citation needed]} By 2012 the school had an enrolment of 603 students between Year 8 and Year 12, 35% of whom were Indigenous Australians.

Mining company BHP donated 120 laptop computers and eight scholarships to the high school in 2005 as part of the company's $3 million commitment to educational opportunities in the Pilbara region.^[1]

A fire that was lit under suspicious circumstances broke out in the school’s library in 2008, causing significant damage to the school.^[2]

Enrolments at the school have been reasonably steady with 619 students enrolled in 2007, 636 in 2008, 666 in 2009, 605 in 2010, 600 in 2011 and 603 in 2012.^{[citation needed]}
