Attendance and enrolment

About this school, from public sources

Public information describes Cocos Islands District High School as the only school serving the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian external territory in the Indian Ocean. It runs a K-10 program across two small campuses (West Island and Home Island), with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio reflecting its small, close-knit enrolment. As the sole school for the community, it plays a central role for island families seeking local government schooling through to Year 10.

Often praised

  • very small class sizes
  • only school on the islands
  • tight-knit island community

It reflects what is said online, not an assessment by SchoolList AU or any government body, and it deliberately records only neutral and positive points. Confidence: low.
