Our Vision is to empower our students through their engagement in education and training so they fufil their own educational, career and social expectations and participate positively in Australian society.

Sevenoaks Senior College was built on the old Cannington Senior High School site at the corner of Sevenoaks Street and Cecil Avenue at a cost of $8.6 million.  It was officially opened by Alan Carpenter, the then Minister for Education, on 19 September 2001, although it was operating as a school from the beginning of the year.

Sevenoaks Senior College has several unique features that set it apart from most other Western Australian government secondary schools.

The college is a merit based educational community and is therefore has the unique advantage of being able to make employment decisions at the local level.  Teachers thoroughly enjoy teaching at Sevenoaks and because of this there are few staff changes in any given year.
