We are seeking to establish a pool of School Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year and up to the end of Term 1, 2027. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
By virtue of its size, Harvey Senior High School (SHS) can cater for all students as individuals. The commitment of staff and local community involvement means that there is a strong connection between students, parents/caregivers, and staff, resulting in all students being supported to achieve their potential. There is strong support from the community in enabling enriched educational opportunities for students.
As well as striving for excellence in all learning areas, students are encouraged to develop those skills, attitudes and values that will enable them to become lifelong learners who are able to adapt to their environment and contribute positively to their community. Harvey SHS is a school responsive to the needs of its clientele and is always looking for better ways to meet them. We are a small and personal senior high school in the idyllic, yet bustling setting of Harvey - less than 90 minutes from Perth and some 30 minutes from Bunbury and at the gateway to the stunning Southwest.
