Welcome to Mindarie Senior College.
Research (and common sense) tells us that a feeling of belonging and connection is essential to the social, emotional and academic well-being of teenage students. Your insights, opinions and detailed knowledge of your child will provide us with a vital resource to enable a smooth transition to Mindarie Senior College and a happy, productive career with us.
