Scarborough Senior High School

DESCRIPTION

ContributorCommunity HistoryTypeSchoolHistory

Scarborough Senior High School was located at the corner of Newborough Street and Grand Promenade in Karrinyup. The school was opened in 1959 and closed its doors 40 years later in December 1999 and was demolished. The land was deemed valuable by the State Government for residential purposes, and a housing development transformed that area of Scarborough into high density living.

Some community members protested that there was no consultation, with promises that pool and gym facilities would remain on site for public use, which were also demolished. This issue possibly played a role in the 2000 election and various groups such as the Scarborough High Open Space Action Group were lobbying for the site to be retained as one hundred percent open public space.

The new Scarborough beach pool opened in 2018 catering for community needs, accompanied by an extensive foreshore redevelopment.

Description

Notable alumni from S.S.H.S include Tim Winton, Mark Lizotte, Dave Hole and Jenny Sefton.
