HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
At Roebourne DHS students in Years Pre-Primary to Year 12 participate in a range of health topics and programs. We cover many topics, some including; Safety, Resilience, Mental Health, Wellbeing, Respectful Relationships, Drug Education, Growth and Development, Nutrition and Health Benefits of Physical Activity.
In Physical Education (PE) students have the opportunity to develop on their Fundamental Movement Skills by participating in a range of modified sports and games. We also engage in Swimming and Water Sports during Terms 1 and 4, and Athletics, Tennis, Hockey and Basketball during Terms 2 and 3. In PE, students challenge themselves to improve on their skills, in addition to building resilience, problem solving, teamwork and strategies and tactics though individual and group games and activities.
LIBRARY
It's been an amazing, but hectic year in the library whilst we share the room with STEM and computers. It didn't deter from reading though, all classes have come to visit and enjoyed reading in the library, changing books to take to class, doing puzzles, playing with puppets and loads more. I always love to hear how much students like the books they read. We've had some very amazing book donations this year from Dymock's Children Charities, Indigenous Literacy Foundation and Roy Hill Pty Ltd that are greatly appreciated.
CONNECTED LEARNING
Connecting our learning to Country, Community and Curriculum
Connected Learning is taught at Roebourne District High School as a specialist subject from Pre-Primary to Year Eight. The program brings together Science and Technologies with Country, Community and the local Roebourne context. Students take part in hands-on investigations, designing, creating and problem-solving, drawing on local places, seasons, plants, animals and community knowledge. Local knowledge holders and community members contribute through yarning, storytelling, classroom experiences and Learning on Country, supporting meaningful two-way learning. These experiences help students build scientific understanding and STEM skills while recognising the value of both curriculum knowledge and local ways of knowing.
BE-UNBOUND PATHWAY PLAN
The Be-Unbound Pathway Plan provides students with a structured and supported pathway from school to independence, further training and employment.
Students begin by developing essential life skills, including obtaining identification, managing banking, and participating in driver education. They then explore their interests, strengths and future possibilities through workplace visits, mentoring, community activities and job tasters.
As students progress, they build practical skills and valuable workplace experience through short courses, workplace learning, internships and industry-recognised training. These experiences can lead to entry-level qualifications and employment opportunities, including traineeships and apprenticeships.
With the support of families, pathway advisors, school staff and community and industry partners, students are empowered to build the confidence, skills, experience and connections they need to transition successfully beyond school and work towards a positive and independent future
MUSIC PROGRAM
The Music Program at Roebourne District High School is delivered in our well-equipped, state-of-the-art music room, which provides a generous and welcoming space for music-making, creative movement and dance.
Students engage with the Music curriculum through the school’s Connected Learning initiative, providing opportunities to explore meaningful connections between culture, Country and curriculum. This approach encourages students to develop their creativity, curiosity and confidence while making connections between classroom learning and the world around them.
Throughout 2026, students explored soundscapes and sound effects, discovered wind instruments from around the world, and developed their musical skills through singing and playing a variety of traditional classroom instruments.
Our choir students enjoyed a range of exciting performance opportunities throughout the year. Through the KREI initiative, students performed at REAP alongside students from other Karratha schools. The choir also shared their music with the wider community through performances at Yaandina Aged Care, the Senior Citizens' Lunch, and the annual Christmas on the Green celebration.
The Music Program is further enriched by support from visiting arts organisations, including the Perth Symphony Orchestra and West Australian Ballet, which provide students with valuable opportunities to engage and work with professional artists.
These diverse experiences help foster a love of music and performance while strengthening students’ creativity, confidence, cultural awareness and connection to community.
