Parent Notice: Staff Car Park
Parents please be advised that the staff car park at the front of the school is not to be used for student drop off/pick up, either before or after school, as this is an occupational health & safety issue.
The school will soon be closing the entry gate at the end of the day and would appreciate it if parents could utilise the dedicated parking bays on Hannaford Avenue instead.
Please also note it is dangerous and illegal to park on the mini roundabout outside the front gate. Thank you.
Giving Aboriginal Students A Kick-Start
15 Clarkson Community High School students are days away from completing a Certificate II in Sports Coaching thanks to a 20-week program developed by the West Coast Academy for Aboriginal Sport, Health and Education (AASHE).
"A lot of Aboriginal students are keen on sport but don't have an avenue to turn this passion into a profession," said AASHE Principal Lecturer Paul Ahearn.
Wood Work Careers
A Vocational Education and Training exercise conducted by the Forest Products Commission is trying to inspire youth to a career in the State's timber industry.
Year 10 students from Clarkson Community High School were given a tour of Pinjar pine plantation near Yanchep.
They were introduced to the timber workers, shown equipment used in the $1.1 billion industry and told about the range of career opportunities in forestry - from machine operators to mechanics, nursery technicians, science officers, environment managers and compliance personnel.

Students End The Term On A High Note
After many requests by students for the school to provide recording facilities for music performances, their dreams have finally become a reality thanks to the collaboration of the Music and IT departments. Audio/visual facilities in the IT block have recently been creatively adapted to accommodate the needs of the Year 11 & 12 TEE and Music in Society classes, allowing those students to create a permanent digital record of their musical endeavors in a professional-standard recording studio.
