Bunbury High School

In 1918, Bunbury District 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 dunes 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 Bunbury 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, Bunbury High School opened with 162 students and 11 staff.

A chronic shortage of rooms saw building commence in 1929, on a new wing to the school. This new wing consisted of a library on the ground floor, and 2 classrooms on the first floor. The library opened in first term 1930.
