Pinjarra Senior High School is a comprehensive public high school located in Pinjarra, a regional centre 86 kilometres (53 mi) east of Perth, Western Australia.
The school was established in 1921 and by 2012 had an enrolment of 573 students between Year 8 and Year 12, approximately 3% of whom are Aboriginal.
Students studying at the school come both from Pinjarra and surrounding areas such as Serpentine, Dwellingup, Warrona, North Yunderup and South Yunderup.[1]
The school operated as a primary school until 1951, then as a junior high school until 1960, a high school until 1965 and as a senior high school since 1965.
The school opened a new $1.9 million Science Laboratory area in 2011 that was built as part of the Building Education Revolution scheme. Western Australia's Chief scientist Lyn Beazley visited the facility in June 2009.[2]
Elizabeth Aitken was the principal until 2011, then left and was replaced with Alan Hunt.
Enrolments at the school have been reasonably steady with 624 students enrolled in 2007, 672 in 2008, 655 in 2009, 583 in 2010, 567 in 2011 and 573 in 2012.
