Willetton Senior High School is highly regarded by the local, national and international community and the consequent demand for places is strong. Results achieved in WACE and national examinations, sporting and academic competitions are outstanding. The school prides itself on its multiculturalism and has enrolments by students from more than 50 countries. The student population is in excess of 1800 and there are approximately 160 teaching staff and 65 non-teaching staff. Over 60 WACE courses are offered in senior school. Willetton Senior High School recognises that students are individuals with different histories, interests, abilities and aptitudes. The school community is committed to maximising their intellectual, creative and social development by the provision of stimulating and relevant programs and orderly classroom practice. The school works to develop competent and socially responsible citizens who respect the needs of others and have a sense of self-worth and future direction. A notable feature is the strong emphasis on pastoral care for all students. Staff in a dedicated Student Services Centre work closely with parents to meet the academic, social and emotional needs of the students. Willetton Senior High School operates four specialist programs: the Academically Talented Student Program for Years 8 to 12, with classes in the lower school and special resourcing for students in Years 11 and 12; the Basketball Specialist Program in all years; the Computing Specialist Program with two streams, multimedia and computer science based in lower school; and an Art extension course available to students who are eligible for enrolment at Willetton.
