Principal’s Welcome

Principal’s Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Coodanup College website, and welcome. I hope it is informative and gives you an understanding of the many diverse educational experiences available at Coodanup.

A co-educational public college, Coodanup College is located 80km south of Perth in the beautiful, coastal City of Mandurah. Catering for years 7-12, we aim to instil ambition and drive in our students throughout their six years at Coodanup, supporting them to gain confidence in their abilities.

Family, carers and the community are integral to our operation, and we welcome the involvement and input into our college, where student learning is at the centre of everything we do. 

Our staff members are committed to the success of each and every student, with outstanding teaching and the provision of real world experiences available for all interests, skill sets and backgrounds. We offer a range of flexible learning programs to provide students with the best opportunity for success, as we appreciate that each student has individual needs and hopes for their future.

Our programs are designed to inspire and encourage students to strive for personal achievement and take healthy risks in order to reach their goals. Our new vision is based on the Mark Twain quote ‘Explore. Dream. Discover’ which encourages students to do everything possible to ensure that in life they take every opportunity to achieve success.

Coodanup College will work to enhance your child’s knowledge and skills to enable them to enter the workforce in an area of their interest, whether it be entering university and completing further study, entering a trade or another pathway. Students will find their potential amongst landscaped grounds and new and improved facilities, including the Treasure Box Theatre and the Federal Funded Mandurah Trade Skills Centre.

At Coodanup, our students explore positive pathways and pursue their own. Our students dream, and then do. Our students discover that anything is possible. ‘Explore. Dream. Discover.’
