EDUCATION Minister Sabine Winton has officially opened state-of-the-art new buildings to increase student capacity at Kalamunda Senior High School and Kalamunda Secondary Education Support Centre.

The $38 million works include a new multistorey block with eight general classrooms to accommodate Kalamunda Senior High School students, along with new purpose-built facilities for Kalamunda Secondary Education Support Centre, comprising six classrooms and ancillary areas.

Also included in the project is a visual arts building, with four studios that provide dedicated spaces for the arts and multimedia, as well as a gallery area to celebrate the work of the school's emerging artists.

The additions accommodate growth in student enrolments at Kalamunda Senior High School, increasing permanent capacity by another 200 students.

The buildings were designed by TAG Architects.

The visual arts block was completed in November 2024 and has been used by staff and students since the start of the 2025 school year. The other buildings were completed by Broad Construction in July 2025.

It forms part of the Cook government's commitment to delivering high-quality education infrastructure for Western Australian students, families, and educators.

Education Minister Sabine Winton said the government will continue to prioritise investing in quality education infrastructure, close to where families live.

“It's so important that students and teachers have access to comfortable and modern learning and working environments.

“The new buildings will undoubtedly create vibrant spaces for students to learn, create, and grow.

“Our government will continue to prioritise delivering quality education infrastructure for Western Australian students.”

Klasey Hirst MLC said it was fantastic to see projects like this delivering modern, inclusive facilities that support teachers and help students in Kalamunda reach their full potential.

“These upgrades are a great example of the Cook government's commitment to investing in quality education for every student, no matter where they live.”
