Cape Naturaliste College
Cape Naturaliste College is a comprehensive public co-educational high day school, located in Vasse, a regional centre in the South West region, 240 kilometres (149 mi) south of Perth, Western Australia.
Overview
The school was established in 2008 and admitted 95 foundation Year 8 students in February of that year. The Minister of Education, Mark McGowan, announced later the same year that the school would become a senior high school and enrol students for Year 11 courses in 2011 and Year 12 in 2012.[1]
Enrolments at the school have increased from the initial 95 students in 2008, to 224 in 2009 when Year 9 commenced, to 282 when Year 10 was introduced, and to 355 in 2011 when the school introduced Year 11 classes.[2] In 2012 the Year 12 cohort was introduced and enrolments increased to 446 students. In 2015 the school introduced a cohort of Year 7 students.
The college is built on an 8-hectare (20-acre) site and is surrounded by natural bushland. It is of an award-winning design[3] and was constructed at an initial cost of $21 million.[4] However, in 2019–20 over $32 million was spent to upgrade the Science, English, and arts departments (among others).[5]
The school has a multi-media centre, a performing arts centre, visual arts studios, information technology resources, a music program and a cafe.
