About Lawley

Mount Lawley Senior High School is one of Western Australia’s leading and oldest public secondary school, offering a dynamic and inclusive learning environment for students in Years 7 to 12.

Located in the inner-city suburb of Mount Lawley, just minutes from the Perth CBD, the school combines a proud tradition of excellence with a strong focus on innovation and future-focused learning.

With a student population of over 2,100, the school is structured across three sub-schools, Middle School (Years 7-8), Upper School (Years 9-10), and Senior School (Years 11-12). This allows for targeted support at each stage of a student’s educational journey.
