Piara Waters Senior High School aims to provide our students and staff with an environment that is welcoming, supportive and safe. Through working in partnership with parents and the broader school community, we strive to assist students in achieving the best possible educational and developmental outcomes – in particular, a strong sense of self worth, coupled with a strong sense of social responsibility.
Piara Waters Senior High School follows a five-session structure day throughout the school week. Each session is one-hour (60 minutes) in length to provide ample time for instruction. Home Group is a pastoral care session taking 20 minutes each day.
