Bullsbrook College is an Independent Public School for students from kindergarten to year 12. It is located in Bullsbrook, Western Australia, a town and suburb north-northwest of Perth.
As well as from Bullsbrook, the school attracts students from Bindoon, Gingin, Muchea and parts of the Swan Valley.[1]
The school was opened in 1952 as Bullsbrook Primary School, replacing an earlier school in Bullsbrook built in 1901. It was soon renamed to Bullsbrook Junior High School in 1954.
By 1996, the school was renamed to Bullsbrook District High School.
From 1998 to 2017, the Bullsbrook Community Library, on Bullsbrook school grounds, was jointly operated by the school and the City of Swan. The City's library eventually moved to its own facility.[2]
In 2005, construction began on $7 million worth of primary school facilities at Bullsbrook District High School.[3] These facilities opened in March 2008. They included new classroom blocks, a new canteen, new assembly area, replacement of transportable classrooms with newer ones, refurbishment of some existing facilities, and drainage improvements to the school's oval so it can be used year-round.[4]
Construction on a $23.6 million upgrade to the school started in September 2011, providing eight new classrooms, a new sports hall, materials and technology block, and science facilities.[5] Construction was complete by September 2014.[6]
Since 2013, Bullsbrook College has been an Independent Public School, and at the start of 2014, the school was renamed to its current name.[7]
