Top heritage marks for Bunbury SHS

08 December 2011

One of Western Australia’s oldest Government high schools has been included in the State Heritage Register.

Heritage Minister John Castrilli said the listing of the Bunbury Senior High School recognised the school’s commitment to providing education to the South-West for nearly 90 years.

“As a former student myself, it gives me great pleasure to include one of the State’s finest Government schools, in the State Register,” Mr Castrilli said.

“The Bunbury Senior High School was officially opened in 1923 by Premier Sir James Mitchell and, at that time, was one of only two schools offering secondary Government education in a regional area.
