The school first opened in 1967. Its catchment area grew to include Winterfold Primary School in 1972, and has remained basically unchanged in the time since.
The school offers specialist programs in baseball, marine studies and music studies. Entry to these programs is competitive and is open to students beyond the catchment area. Students can be in all or none of these programs when attending SFSHS.
South Fremantle's catchment area has been specified by the Department of Education and Training to include the suburbs of Beaconsfield, Hilton, O'Connor, South Fremantle and most of Fremantle. Students in East Fremantle have the choice between South Fremantle, John Curtin College of the Arts and Melville Senior High School, whilst students in Samson and parts of Hamilton Hill and Kardinya have the choice of Hamilton Senior High School. South Fremantle's feeder primary schools are Beaconsfield, East Fremantle, Fremantle, Hilton, Richmond, Samson, White Gum Valley and Winterfold.[1]
