Students

Some of our students come from as far as Marble Bar. Being from small communities, they enjoy living in a country town with a welcoming community.
Whilst at the college, students attend Central Midlands Senior High School from Years 7 to 12.

School
Central Midlands Senior High School
Central Midlands Senior High School is a progressive secondary school conveniently located next to the college. It provides education for approximately 200 students from Year 7 to Year 12 and welcomes regional students.
Your child has access to innovative, flexible pathways for learning with a wide range of academic and vocational subjects. One major attraction of the school is the small class size. A low student-to-staff ratio ensures plenty of individual attention and assistance, in and out of the classroom.
For more information about the school, refer to the Central Midlands Senior High School website.
Community
Moora is a small community with a population of 2780. It is located 172km northeast of Perth in a farming district. It is a regional centre with a pharmacy, dentist, doctors and a district hospital.
The college has strong ties to the community. To enhance this connection we have a Local Input Networking and Communications (LINC) committee at the college. The LINC is made up of representatives from the community and provides advice and support to the manager and staff regarding the operation and management of the college. The LINC committee promotes the college and ensures that activities are in the best interest of students.
