Newman Senior High School is the jewel in the Iron Heart of the Pilbara. Our staff are committed to every student making exceptional progress, to enjoy learning and to be motivated by The Newman Way, our school values of Care and Compassion, Respect and Responsibility.
The school community is very fortunate to have exceptional support from the community. This includes the Pilbara Education Partnership with BHP, and Follow the Dream program. Our local businesses provide opportunities for students with workplace learning and school-based traineeships. UWA’s Aspire program supports students who want to pursue university pathways.
