Ocean Reef Senior High School enjoys an excellent reputation for its challenging and innovative teaching and learning programs that encourage curiosity and creativity. Students are offered a broad curriculum that, especially in the upper grades (Years 11 and 12), offers many choices in terms of both academic and practical pathways.
In the Marine and Maritime Studies course, students gain fascinating insights into the world of the oceans and learn both practical skills and in-depth knowledge. They practice safe boat handling, develop a sense of responsibility on the water, and obtain a recreational boat license. At the same time, they immerse themselves in exciting oceanographic concepts and understand how closely the various elements of the marine environment are intertwined. Topics such as the sustainable use of marine resources and the construction of ships and hulls are also on the program. A real highlight is the week-long excursion to Coral Bay. The course also offers the opportunity to complete an internationally recognized SCUBA diving course.
The Outdoor Education course offers exciting practical experiences in varied environments – from bushwalking and snorkeling to rock climbing and orienteering. Students develop valuable life skills, improve their physical fitness, and gain a deeper understanding of nature. Highlights include excursions to Rottnest, where snorkeling, cycling, and an overnight camp are on the agenda, as well as to Dwellingup with a high ropes course, hikes, raft building, and a shared overnight stay in a camp.
Ocean Reef Senior High School also focuses on comprehensive support outside the classroom. Sports, music, and artistic activities offer numerous opportunities to discover and develop talents. Newly arrived international students also benefit from the Buddy Program, which pairs each newcomer with an experienced classmate. This makes it easier to find your way around school life and quickly make friends.
Surfers and beginners alike will find ideal conditions at Mullaloo Beach, just one kilometer away, at the Northern Beaches Surf School.
