Jurien Bay District High School embraces diversity, and provides quality teaching and learning programs to provide opportunities for students to develop the necessary skills for their future learning and life.
Core Values
Jurien Bay has adopted 3 core values that underpin our school code of conduct. To achieve our personal best at school, we need to display:
- Respect
- Responsibility
- Commitment
Jurien Bay District High School is situated at 19 Hamersley Street, Jurien Bay.
Jurien Bay DHS is situated in the Shire of Dandaragan, located 265 kilometres north of Perth and 200 kilometres south of Geraldton. The Shire has a motto of “Bush to Beach within your reach”, this motto very aptly describes Jurien Bay. The town site of Cervantes is situated 20 minutes south and Leeman is 30 minutes to the north. If you travel inland from the coast you will find farmland and natural parks within 20 minutes. Thus the motto “Bush to Beach within your reach.” The town site of Jurien Bay has a population of approximately 1900.
