The School Board meets at 5:30 pm once or twice per term and provides financial oversight and advice on strategic direction. The School’s Business Plan and Annual Report are submitted for approval at the School Board’s Annual General Meeting.

Get Involved

We encourage all parents and community members to get involved with the P&C and be a part of our vibrant and supportive school community.

Our P&C supports various aspects of school life, including the canteen, school events such as valedictory, the Year 12 breakfast, homework club, guest speakers, and student awards. P&C funds are provided by voluntary contributions and uniform sales, so more fun and less fundraising!

All support is welcome. Whether you have an idea, can attend meetings, or commit to regular involvement, there are many ways to contribute to have a lasting impact on our school and students.

Note: The P & C Constitution requires members to contribute an annual $1.00 membership fee.

Melville Senior High School Alumni

Melville Senior High School is celebrating 65 years of student achievements in 2025.

Since 1960, thousands of students have passed under the jacaranda trees to attend Melville Senior High School.

We encourage participation in the Melville Alumni as a way of maintaining and growing your future networks. There are opportunities for Alumni to be called upon and provide insight into their professional lives so current students can benefit from their experience. Reunions and networking events are held throughout the year and are coordinated by individual year groups.

Email Melville.SHS.marketing@education.wa.edu.au if you are interested in coordinating an Alumni event or would like to be invited to an upcoming reunion.
