Primary schools District high schools The term "district high school" in Western Australia typically means a primary school combined with a high school on the one campus which services the educational needs of a rural district. The term came into use in the 1970s; prior to this, such schools were either known as "Junior High Schools" or simply "Schools" (covering the same range of years), or "Primary Schools" which were limited to year 7, and started serving high school students only upon becoming DHSs.
High schools Historically, a Junior High School (JHS) was a primary school with a Year 8–10 component (now known as a District High School), a High School (HS) was a high school limited to Year 8–10, whilst a Senior High School (SHS) was a high school extending to year 12.
Other schools This is a list of all other schools operated by, or under, the Western Australian Department of Education and Training. These include special schools for the disabled, the
School of the Air and remote community schools which usually represent an
Aboriginal community and typically offer a multilingual education in the local language and/or
Kriol, and English. While some of these remote schools are new and have been established on behalf of the community, others were previously mission schools and were funded and operated by religious orders or private benefactors.
