Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Tom Price Senior High School. It is my privilege to serve the students, teachers and families of this wonderful school and community.

As a culturally responsive school we welcome the opportunity to partner with our families and community. We recognise that all members of the community want the best for our children and strive to ensure we live the values of Personal Best, Integrity and Respect, providing a positive learning environment that prepares our students for their future and puts them on a pathway to success.

Our school’s vision is to inspire students to embrace their diversity and be passionate about learning in order to achieve their personal best. This is fostered through the extensive Year 7 to Year 12 secondary education program, supported by Vocational Education and Training (VET), cultural, artistic and sporting opportunities. A key element of our academic STEM program is the Centre of Resources Excellence (CoRE), with the Pilbara CoRE program offered to interested students in Years 7 and 8. The school is also participating in the Fogarty Foundation EDvance program, a whole school improvement program providing school executive teams with leadership and management skills via a mentorship to improve the educational outcomes of our students.

Tom Price SHS is an Independent Public School located near the picturesque surrounds of the Karijini National Park 1600km from Perth, servicing students who live in the towns of Tom Price, Paraburdoo and the nearby Aboriginal communities Wakuthuni and Bellary. The achievement of our students is made possible by the dedicated and supportive staff who tailor teaching programs to meet the needs of our students and through partnerships with local industry and businesses via school based programs and traineeships.

I invite you to take a look through our website for further information on our school and encourage you to visit us for a personal tour.

School vision

Our vision is to inspire students to embrace their diversity and be passionate about learning in order to achieve their personal best.

We are committed to the values that we believe are essential in achieving the best possible outcomes for all students attending Tom Price Senior High School. Our school vision is underpinned by the following school values:

Personal best

We have a positive approach to learning and encourage each student to strive hard in their pursuit of excellence by aiming to attain their highest personal achievement in all aspects of schooling. We advance student learning based on our belief that all students have the capacity to learn and to achieve higher levels of learning.

Integrity

We have high expectations that each member of our school community will acquire and practice on an ongoing basis a discipline of moral behaviour and belief. We expect all members of the school community to be honest and to be trustworthy.

Respect

We expect all members of our school community to care for self, others, the environment and to value property, be it communal or personal. This extends to being considerate and to treat others with dignity, accept diversity and individual.

School Review

All Western Australian public schools are reviewed every three years by the Department of Education’s Public School Accountability directorate. A review gives assurance to the local community, the Minister for Education and Training and the Director General that a school is operating effectively and delivering high quality education to its students. The review acknowledges the achievements of the school and gives feedback to support the principal and staff with their improvement planning.
