WA public secondary schools cater for 112 dreams – your child’s could be one of them

Imagine your child turning their dream into reality – now imagine them starting on this path while still at school. More than 55 public secondary schools offer 112 Specialist Programs and you can apply no matter where you live.

Specialist Programs provide an opportunity for children with a passion to follow their heads and hearts, and, with focus and application, can lead to exciting careers. Past graduates have gone on to study nanotechnology at Oxford University UK, a directing course at the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) and been accepted into WA’s top cricket team, the Retravision Warriors.

Specialist Programs span three areas of study – academic and applied studies, arts and sports. Many of the programs are linked to universities, industry programs, training organisations and sporting bodies.

From aviation to music, and cricket to marine studies, your child will find a program that will challenge and excite them, and allow them to follow their dream.

Each program is accredited by the Department of Education to ensure the highest standards are maintained.

Applications are made directly to each school.
