Craigie Senior High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Craigie Senior High School was a State high school in the northern coastal suburb of Craigie, in the city of Perth, the capital city of the State of Western Australia.

Craigie SHS's main feeder schools were Craigie Primary School, Camberwarra Primary School, and Springfield Primary School. Craigie SHS was consistently among the top-scoring public school in Western Australia in the Tertiary Entrance Exam (TEE), as well as one of the few public schools in Western Australia with an Academic Talent Program.

Craigie SHS opened some time in the late 1970s, and was closed a few years ago, despite local protest including from the local MP Mal Washer, as part of the Local Area Education Plan. It was demolished not long afterwards. Students from Craigie SHS moved to nearby state high schools - Belridge Senior High School or Padbury Senior High School. Many of the important historical items from the school are preserved at Padbury Senior High School.
