History

Yanchep District High School opened in 1975 for Kindergarten to Year 7 students, as Yanchep Primary School. The school expanded to Year 8s in 1980, Year 9s in 1981 and Year 10s in 1982, and was renamed to Yanchep District High School in 1981. [1] [2] Yanchep District High School served students living in Yanchep, Two Rocks, Quinns Rocks, Butler and Woodridge. [2] The closest school for Year 11s and 12s from 2003 to 2012 was Mindarie Senior College, 16 km (9.9 mi) south, and from 2013 onwards, Butler College, 13 km (8.1 mi) south.

In the 2010s, Yanchep and Two Rocks experienced large growth. Yanchep has a population of 4,247 in 2011, [3] which more than doubled to 8,868 in 2016. [4] As a result, Yanchep District High School did not have the facilities required to serve the number of students it had. The state government decided to construct a new high school in Yanchep, and convert the existing Yanchep District High School to be a primary school. [5] Yanchep District High School closed at the end of 2017. In February 2018, Yanchep Secondary College opened to Year 7 to 11 students, at a new location with new facilities, and Yanchep Lagoon Primary School opened to Kindergarten to Year 6 students at the site of Yanchep District High School. [6] Since then, most of Yanchep Lagoon Primary School has been demolished and rebuilt with more modern facilities. [7] [1]

Ellenbrook is a northeastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, about 30 km (19 mi) from Perth's central business district (CBD), located within the City of Swan. Ellenbrook, and its neighbouring suburbs of The Vines and Aveley, are unusual for Perth in being a significant distance from neighbouring suburbs. Given this relative isolation and the distance from the CBD, Ellenbrook has been designed and developed as a self-sustainable community. Since the upgrade of Gnangara Road and the completion of the Tonkin Highway Northlink, access to Ellenbrook has improved. The Morley–Ellenbrook railway line is well underway as at June 2021 and this will enable better public transport. At the time of the 2016 census there were 22,681 people living in the gazetted suburb, by June 2018, it was estimated that the urban population for Ellenbrook and surrounds had grown to 41,382. It is envisioned that Ellenbrook will eventually become a satellite city, with a population of 80,000.
