The School

Jerramungup District High School (DHS) is located in the wheat and sheep farming community of Jerramungup, 440km South East of Perth. It is situated within the Fitzgerald Biosphere which is part of the acclaimed Fitzgerald National Park, located nearby to the east of Jerramungup. Nearby to the south is the coastal community of Bremer Bay. Students from five small towns and communities in the region attend Jerramungup DHS for their secondary education. Jerramungup works very closely with these schools to ensure that the transition between the two is seamless. A school bus service is available to transport students to the school from each community and farm in the region. The school currently caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 10.

With the school motto 'Strive to Achieve', students achieve high standards of academic and social achievement through participation and engagement in the school's inclusive, safe and stimulating learning environments. Our school vision encompasses all of this with the following statement: Together we strive to inspire life-long learning.
