Bunbury High School
1923Bunbury High School
In 1918, the original Bunbury High School was established in a building on the corner of Stirling and Arthur Streets, in an unsuitable building, on an unsuitable site. The Arthur Street School was unable to meet the need for a South West regional high school.
Planning for a new high school in Bunbury began in 1917. The new high school was to be built on top of a sand dune known as Boulter's Heights. The site chosen by the Minister for Education, Sir James Mitchell.
Surveying was completed in 1920. The contract to construct a separate High school was let on the 9th January, 1922. The contract for the school went to Totterdell & Bros. of Perth.
By the 1st October, 1922, a two-storey building comprising of 8 classrooms, 2 science laboratories and a gymnasium was completed at a cost of £15,189.00
In 1923, the new school opened with 162 students and 11 staff.
