Teacher - Education Support

The School

Wanneroo Secondary College (SC) is committed to the education, both academically and socially, of every student who walks through our doors. We consider our staff and students our greatest assets - our teachers are experienced and highly skilled, and our students are friendly, inclusive and always striving for excellence.

Our innovative curriculum allows us to cater for all students' talents and ambitions. Constant improvement in literacy and numeracy standards is one of our highest priorities. The college offers a variety of pathways and programs to students to develop their talents and engage them in schooling.

In our inclusive Education Support Program that opened in 2024, we envision a learning community where every student is empowered to grow through self-discipline, supported by a culture of trust, achievement, and respect (STAR). We celebrate diversity, foster independence, and support each learner to reach their full potential.
