About Us
Bullsbrook College is a Kindergarten to Year 12 Independent Public School situated at the heart of the Bullsbrook community. Once serving a tiny rural community we are now part of a steadily growing population. Bullsbrook has become a popular destination for new home buyers due to urban expansion and the increasing infrastructure and facilities in the area.
As a Kindergarten to Year 12 school, we service the community’s educational needs across the primary and secondary years on a beautiful split campus. A major rebuilding program (completed in 2012) was a big milestone in the school’s growth and development and has resulted in a modern and beautiful campus for our students and community to enjoy.
Bullsbrook College has a long history in our town going back to the 1950s when it was known by other names including “Bullsbrook Junior High” and “Bullsbrook District High”. As the community has grown, so too has our school – now known as Bullsbrook College. We were appointed as an Independent Public School commencing in 2013, another significant milestone recognising the school’s contributions and commitment to providing a high quality public education.
Bullsbrook College attracts students from a number of rural communities such as Bindoon, Gingin and Muchea as well as the Swan Valley.
