Dalwallinu District High School was established on its current site in 1963, this is the third school site and the history of state education in the town goes back over a century. With this significant history in mind and our rural context we acknowledge our tradition and balance this with a sense of progress, embracing innovation and contemporary educational thinking.

Our school’s learning programs provide opportunities for all of our students to engage in learning and enable them to reach their potential emotionally, academically, physically, and socially. Our committed team of highly qualified and enthusiastic staff are supported by an active school community and we work together to strive for excellence in all facets of school life.

At Dalwallinu District High School we underpin all our learning programs activities with a set of shared core values. We believe that, as a school, we have a responsibility to be a professional learning community that is continually reflecting on our performance and we are constantly striving for improvement.

Dalwallinu DHS places our students at the centre of all decisions and initiatives. Our students are part of our school and our school is part of them. As stated in our vision we aim to empower all students, through building their capacity to be respectful and confident in taking on life’s challenges. We believe that all our students will be successful lifelong learners.

Welcome to the Dalwallinu District High School community.
