Norseman District High School (DHS) is a Level 5 District High School catering for children from Kindergarten to Year 12.

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 children’s 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.
