Clarkson Community High School’s Rugby League Program commenced in
2011, following an invitation from the Western Australian Rugby League
(WARL) to join the WA Reds Rugby League Elite Schools Competition.
In 2013, students enrolled in Rugby League will be part of a
practical and academic program which focuses on the development
of both Rugby League and life skills, on and off the field.

Context specific: distinctive schools (Classroom First Strategy 2007) clearly states the expectation of secondary and primary schools to develop collegiate partnerships. It is expected that ‘our secondary schools work cooperatively with their cluster of feeder primary schools so students in a local community have a seamless transition from the beginning of their primary schooling to the end of their secondary schooling.’ This is a challenge that Clarkson Community High School has always been committed to, however in preparing for the dual intake of Year 7 and 8 students in 2015 to our school, we are obliged to ensure that these students and their families are welcomed in to a supportive and caring learning community. It is fundamentally important that students are invited by our school to flourish and lead happy and fulfilled lives.
For four years now Clarkson Community High School has challenged the thinking ability, public speaking skills and pride of our partner primary schools. The Clarkson Challenge has become an event that our whole community looks forward to.
