Welcome to Mount Lawley Senior High School
Located in Perth, Western Australia, and with almost 1,600 students, our school campus comprises a Middle School, for Years 7, 8 and 9, and a Senior School for Years 10, 11 & 12.
Established in 1955, we have a vibrant and supportive parent community, and a staff dedicated to providing our students with the best possible education - both academically, and in other aspects of life experience.
For details about reunions, our Alumni Newsletter and more.
Upcoming reunions we are aware of:
The Old '55 Annual Reunion:
Held at the Charles Hotel (509 Charles Street North Perth) on the 5 May at 5:55pm each year.
The Class of 1959 (aka Old 55) meets informally every year at 5:55 p.m. on 5 May. The date and time was chosen as "all the fives" to represent 1955, the year of the first intake of students to Mount Lawley SHS. Modern terminology now refers to the original intake as "foundation" students and "foundation" teachers. Most people attending the reunion turn up nearer to 7:00. Most people stay for less than three hours. The evening usually attracts from 50 to 60 ex-students. The evening is really low key! There are no speeches and there is no organisation. Mingle! Some students from the Class of 1972 always join us. They are also "Old 55" as they were born in 1955.

Midsummer Dreaming
If you crack, pick and excavate ... you will find something, something that moves, breathes, pulses in a rhythm that echoes. In the beginning, there was nothing but darkness where spiritual beings drifted aimlessly through until Ngarkk the sun rose for the very first time. Midsummer Dreaming is a fierce and inspiring production guaranteed to move you, perhaps move you to the dream land where love is forbidden, however, passionate. Midsummer Dreaming is the 2017 Year 8 SVAPA production that has been reinterpreted into an Indigenous Noongar context ...
