Ocean Reef SHS is the school of choice within our

• community. We produce strong results in NAPLAN and

OLNA and our students see success in WACE through General, ATAR or VET (training) pathways. Quality teaching makes the biggest difference for student success and our teachers value building relationships with

• students. We have high expectations of student

achievement and behaviour and prioritise every student with a pathway to a successful future.

A message from the Principal

We highly value working with our families and school community to ensure that our students are on a pathway to success.

• We provide a friendly and supportive environment with a focus on

student outcomes through engagement.

• Students are catered for with a range of extension, pastoral, literacy

and numeracy initiatives.

• Students with a diagnosed or imputed learning disability or learning

difficulty are valued and supported.
