Mr Craig Griffiths, School Principal

Welcome to Waikerie High School.

Our inspired and passionate staff are dedicated to student success.  We offer a diverse curriculum that provides opportunities for students to pursue success in their future pathways. Our graduates transition to university, apprenticeships or work with great success.

We are committed to providing best learning outcomes for every student in every class.

High expectations, strong traditions and belief in culture underpin the structures and processes we build upon.  Our values of respect, responsibility, trust, achievement and community are embraced and are the foundation for our school.  Our learner dispositions of grit, resilience and self-motivation help us strive for continual growth and improvement.  Waikerie High School students, parents, staff and community are one team, working together to provide quality teaching and learning opportunities for every student to be the best they can be.
