CCHS Launches E-Sports Team
This week saw the successful launch of an exciting new initiative at Clarkson Community High School as we became one of the first schools in the northern corridor to register for META, a high school E-Sports league providing a competitive environment for CCHS to challenge students from all around Australia and New Zealand.
Social-Emotional Learning
The Visible Learning mindframes provide a coherent approach to simultaneously improve learning outcomes and student wellbeing. At Clarkson, Invitational Education (IE) provides a framework for making other theories work. The most significant driver of school reform is teachers' thinking. Teachers' understanding of intentionality helps make them consciously skilled.
Give Write Equips Clarkson Students Going Back To School
Charity "Give Write" has collected and distributed stationery donations to 41 WA schools in the lead up to term one, including Clarkson Community High School.
Teachers from the school visited the charity’s Subiaco office towards the end of the holidays to collect 80 packs to help students who start the year with no stationery.
The packs contained pencil cases filled with school list basics – a set of textas, crayons, pencils, pens, a ruler, sharpener, eraser, highlighter and glue stick.

WACE Success!
90.91% of our Year 12 students in 2019 achieved the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).
Firstly, we have shown improvement from 2018, when we scored 81% attainment rate.
Secondly, across both public and private schools, the average is 91.33% - so we’re very close to the rest of the state!
OLNA Success!
If a student doesn’t achieve Band 8 in NAPLAN in Year 9, they must sit OLNA until they “pass”.
