Cecil Andrews Senior High School is a public co-educational high day school, located on Seville Drive in the suburb of Armadale, in part of the metropolitan area of Perth, Western Australia.

Mixed-sex education, also known as mixed-gender education, co-education or coeducation, is a system of education where males and females are educated together. Whereas single-sex education was more common up to the 19th century, mixed-sex education has since become standard in many cultures, particularly in Western countries. Single-sex education, however, remains prevalent in many Muslim countries. The relative merits of both systems have been the subject of debate.

A day school—as opposed to a boarding school—is an educational institution where children are given instruction during the day, after which the students return to their homes. The term can also be used to emphasize the length of full-day programs as opposed to after-school programs, as in Jewish day school.
