About this school, from public sources
Public online sources describe Denmark Senior High School as a public co-educational secondary school on WA's south coast, catering for roughly 420 students in Years 7-12. The school offers ATAR and VET pathways toward WACE, alongside specialist programs including a basketball academy, instrumental music, and STEAM initiatives. It promotes values of respect, resilience and aspiration, and its leadership describes it as large enough to offer variety but small enough that students are individually known.

Gifted and accelerated programs
Selective Academic Online Program (Gifted and Talented)
Many comprehensive public high schools run their own class or program for high-ability students, under names such as Gifted and Talented, Academic Extension, Academic Excellence (common in Queensland), Enrichment or SEAL. These are not a department program: each school sets its own entry (often a test or application in Year 6) and class size. Listed only where the school's own website describes a dedicated class; check details with the school.
