As an Independent Public School in 2011, Ocean Reef SHS has a proud academic history, which has been built around strong positive leadership and excellence in teaching and pastoral care. Our reputation is enhanced by a wide range of activities conducted by the School. This combination has seen the school win numerous national and state awards, including an Australian Careers Service National Innovation in School Careers Programs Award and Young Achievement Australia. In 2010 the School won a ‘Top Public Schools’ Award from the Minister for Education and Training for the third time.

 Principal

Over ninety highly qualified, experienced and loyal staff at the school are committed to the development of young people. Because the school believes that all individuals are capable of making valuable contributions to the school and society, we have a firmly established ethos of developing the whole person – intellectually, emotionally, physically, culturally and spiritually. Students and teachers work as partners, collaborating to create a vibrant educational community.

The atmosphere of the school is friendly, supportive, well ordered and disciplined; pastoral care is an integral part of school life. Our Student Services personnel, Year Coordinators and Tutorial teachers show a genuine interest in our students and nurture them to strive for personal excellence. They also ensure that students feel safe, secure and happy at school. We encourage pride in our school and expect all students to follow our dress code.

At Ocean Reef SHS, we are equipped and committed to providing opportunities that allow your child and our teachers to perform to their highest potential. The school is air-conditioned, providing a comfortable learning environment even in our hot Perth summers. Students’ differing needs, interests and abilities are well catered for with the offering of a wide variety of optional programs in Art, Business Studies, Dance, Design and Technology, Drama, Home Economics, Marine Studies, Media Studies, Music, Photography and Physical Education, in addition to the compulsory subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and Society and Environment. To maximize your child’s potential, we also offer Specialist Music, Specialist Marine Studies, Academic Extension (SEAC) and Elite Soccer. Students at risk are catered for with a range of extension, pastoral, literacy and numeracy initiatives. Special needs students are supported with relevant programs and individual assistance. Two CadetsWAY units, State Emergency Services and Surf Lifesaving, are also available and well supported.

Ocean Reef SHS has become a first choice school, because of the strong relationships we have developed over time with our learning partners – parents, families, community members, service providers, businesses, other schools, institutions of higher learning and the professions. The school is highly regarded in the local community, evidence of which is demonstrated by our energetic School Board, the numerous special committees and a hard working P&C. Also, many people newly arrived in Australia choose the school because of its reputation in promoting academic achievement, providing positive pastoral care, having high standards of discipline and an overt focus on values and sporting success.

We are justifiably proud of our students. Our motto, ‘Sail Forth’, emphasizes that students graduating from Ocean Reef SHS are well equipped to take on their individual directions for their futures and that they leave the school prepared to be productive and worthwhile members of the community.

Thanks.
Principal
Greg Thorne.

SEAC

  • Print

SEAC (Secondary Extension and Challenge) is the academic extension program operating at Ocean Reef Senior High School, where students of similar ability learn together in a stimulating and challenging environment. 

In 2011 there were five classes of SEAC students two in year 8, one in year 9 and two in year 10.  In year 8 and 9 students stay together for all four MESS subjects (Maths, English, Science and Society and Environment) while in Year 10 students are selected for each subject individually. 

 

There are Principals List awards presented to the top 5 students in each of the MESS subjects for years 8, 9 and 10.  The awards are presented by the principal Greg Thorne each Semester along with Excellence awards for the top students in each subject and a Dux award for the best overall student. Places are offered in year 6 and 7 as a result of SEAC testing but to retain your place in the program when students enter the school, grades need to be maintained to a high standard.  This testing usually takes place twice during the year – early in term 2 (main testing date) and during term 4.

You can apply for our SEAC program even if you have not been involved with PEAC in primary school and you can apply for SEAC along with our other specialist programs of Music, Marine Studies and Soccer. Please contact Enrolments Officer Diana Martin on 9307 0222 for enrolment enquires, testing dates and any further details.
