Wagin DHS is a Level 5 school nestled in the fertile farmland of the Great Southern Region, 228kms South
East of Perth. Established in 1892, Wagin District High School’s main building brings that touch of heritage
to an otherwise modern and thriving school. The nature of our Kindergarten to Year 10 school affords us
the best of both primary and secondary school. A strong focus on pastoral care, shared responsibility and
meeting the individual child’s needs are first and foremost.

Wagin DHS has an ICSEA (Index of Community Socio Economic Advantage) of 962 (Decile 7), with the
average across Australia being 1000. When ‘like school’ comparisons are referred to in the document
they are made against schools with similar ICSEA. Our dedicated and committed staff continuously strive
to ensure our students embrace our motto of Aim High in order to achieve their potential. Our school
vision is to provide an empowering environment for life-long learning. In order to ensure we meet our
goals, Wagin DHS supports a culture of continuous self-reflection and improvement cycles across all
aspects of the school.

In consultation with students and parents, staff developed the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan by building on
current strengths and addressing areas for improvement. As you will see from the photos, we had fun
along the way. If you wish to discuss any aspect of this report please phone 9861 3200 or email
