Curriculum

At Kambalda West we provide a learning experience that matches the students' needs and prepares them for a future, whether it is in the Goldfields, Perth or somewhere else in the world.

​

A balanced approach with opportunity to experience all aspects of the curriculum is important to us.  High school students in Year 7 to 10 participate in compulsory courses (Maths, English, Science and Humanities (MESH) and participate in a range of options and electives that expose them to different industries and pathways for future learning. Senior secondary students complete SCSA approved courses with TAFE and Workplace Learning to graduate with a WACE (Western Australian Certificate of Education).

​

Parents and community members have an important and enhanced role within the school. Parents and caregivers are invited to take an active role in working in partnership with the school to ensure the very best outcomes for your child academically, emotionally, socially and physically. Parents are encouraged to monitor their child’s achievement and progress in their classes; as well as communicate with the teachers.

​

Voluntary contributions, compulsory charges and approved funding requests paid by parents and guardians are all used to purchase textbooks, materials and other resources used by students in their everyday classes. All contributions and charges assist in providing an educational program that meets the requirements of the curriculum and comply with the guidelines issued by the Department of Education and the Education Act.
