A $15.6 million state-of-the-art classroom block delivered by the WA government has been officially opened at Willetton Senior High School.

The new three-storey classroom block includes 22 general classrooms, an inclusive education classroom, changerooms, and amenities to accommodate more than 500 students for Mathematics, English, Health, and Physical Education.

Its floor plan will enable a collaborative atmosphere, with informal learning spaces adjacent to classrooms and social spaces for students to enjoy. The accessible building design also ensures that the educational needs of both staff and students with disabilities will be met.

WA Premier Roger Cook said: “Willetton Senior High School is one of the largest secondary schools in WA, and this impressive new building will help cater for its future growth.

“Importantly, this building has been designed to be accessible to everyone, ensuring all local students have access to its wonderful facilities to support their education.”

A major $43.45 million upgrade of Rossmoyne Senior High School is also currently underway and scheduled for completion late next year.

The projects are part of the state government’s $1.5 billion school infrastructure program to deliver new and modern public schools across Western Australia.
