Year 11 & 12

Pathways to Your Future

Denmark Senior High School provides a first class Year 11 and Year 12 education program that is attuned to the needs and aspirations of all students, the community of Denmark and the outlying communities in the region. The school delivers a wide range of subjects and courses that, on successful completion, enable students to achieve the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).

To achieve their WACE, students select from either an ATAR suite of courses or a Vocational Education and Training (VET) suite of courses. The ATAR courses provide students with the opportunity to gain admission to most of the undergraduate courses offered by universities both in Western Australia and in other Australian states.

Although a smaller school compared to other schools in the Great Southern Region, Denmark Senior High School has developed a reputation for high level student achievement.
