The School

Mount Lawley Senior High School (SHS) has long been recognised as one of Western Australia's top public schools. Since 1955, we have earned a strong reputation for academic excellence, creativity, and student success. Consisting of our three sub-schools: Middle School (Years 7 and 8), Upper School (Years 9 and 10), and Senior School (Years 11 and 12).

Mount Lawley SHS boasts a modern, purpose-built campus that reflects our ongoing commitment to providing a high-quality, future-focused learning environment. Over the past two decades, the school has undergone significant transformation, beginning with the construction of the Middle School and the Mount Lawley Sports and Fitness Centre in 2004, creating a strong and contemporary foundation for student learning and wellbeing.

Mount Lawley SHS is more than just a place of learning; it is a place where great people are made. Our values live in every corner of the campus: in the inspiring photographs that line the corridors, and along our 'Walk of Fame', which honours our alumni, the Lawley Legends. This celebrated group includes philanthropists, community leaders, high achievers in business, law, politics, entertainment, the military, and international sporting champions.
