Narembeen District High School (DHS) is a high-performing Kindergarten to Year 10 (K-10) school located 270 kilometres east of Perth, where students are encouraged to pursue excellence, discover their strengths and achieve their full potential. Our small classes, highly engaged students and strong sense of community create a welcoming and inclusive environment where learning, leadership and creativity are nurtured, and every student is supported to succeed.

As a K–10 school, we provide a seamless transition into secondary schooling, with older students serving as positive role models for younger learners. We are proud of our exemplary student behaviour and the high standards we uphold, allowing teachers to focus on delivering quality learning programs and making a meaningful difference in the classroom.

Our staff are a professional, collaborative team who foster a positive and supportive workplace culture, guided by our core values of Learning, Excellence, Equity and Care. Our commitment to excellence has been recognised through a five-year return from our 2021 Public School Review, the Department of Education Excellence in Teaching and Learning (Primary) Award in 2022 and finalist recognition in the Excellence in Leadership Award in 2023.
