Our School
Norseman DHS is a Level 4 District High School catering for children from Kindergarten to Year 12. Our school is unique in that we have a population of children from interstate, other parts of WA and the 'Norseman Locals' creating an environment that is rich in diversity and opportunities to learn from each other. The traditional owners the Ngadju people have a broad understanding of the land, a passionate culture and are wonderful supporters of the school.
Our relative low student numbers allow our quality and passionate staff opportunities to individualise the curriculum to meet the childrens' needs. There is a wonderful balance of staff from beginning teachers to very experienced staff who very much value working collaboratively and put in a huge effort to deliver creative and inspirational lessons. The school boasts a strong ICT focus with iPads being used in all classes to develop 21st century learners. Our school bus is used frequently to offer a wide range of learning and sporting activities and opportunities for the children.
The location and community
Norseman is the last major town in Western Australia before heading east across the Nullabor Plain. Norseman is only two hours’ drive from both Kalgoorlie and Esperance and is home to wonderful spring wildflower displays.
