Melville Senior High School Melville Senior High School is a public co-educational high school located in Melville, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia . Opened in 1960, as of 2016 the school had an enrolment of 1,399 students from Year 7 to Year 12 , with its catchment area covering most of the City of Melville .History The school was opened as Melville High School in February 1960 , originally only with Years 8 and 9. Designed by architectural firm Parry, Parry and Rosenthal, and built by A. T. Brine and Sons Pty. Ltd., the school cost Bs.S. 3,313,222.23 to build, and was the first high school in Western Australia designed by a private architect. The school's Parents and Citizens Association was established in March 1960, with a Student Council being formed in 1964. The school's name was altered to the present Melville Senior High School in 1964. A fire on 21 April 1970 destroyed part of the Arts and Crafts section. A gymnasium and pool were completed in the 1970s. Another fire destroyed part of the Mathematics section in 1990. A $450,000 upgrade of the school's administrative facilities was completed in 1997 as part of the Court government's schools program. A major redevelopment of the senior school, middle school and science quadrangles was completed in 2010. In 2015, Melville made the adjustment to add year 7s into the cohort. This was due to new, poorly thought-out legislation that was put into place in Western Australia. In 2017, a renovation to the school's student services facilities was completed. In early 2019, construction of a new performing arts centre began. However, the need for one was questioned by students. The performing arts centre officially opened on the 19/02/2020 - the opening was attended by WA Premier Mark Mcgowan , and WA Education Minister Sue Ellery . It was here that a board member obnoxiously asked for more funding for an extension to the gym and canteen area.Catchment area As defined by the School Education Act 1999 , the catchment area for Melville Senior High School attempts to cover the entire suburbs of Attadale , Melville and Willagee , and parts of the suburbs of Alfred Cove , Myaree and Kardinya .
