Compare with all other specialists.

Location:
Approximately 80 kilometres south west of Perth. The school is situated on the Peel Education and Training Campus alongside Mandurah Senior College, Challenger TAFE and Murdoch University. It is regarded as a country school, but has metropolitan advantages. The school population is drawn from a wide area, which encompasses Dwellingup to the south and Golden Bay to the north.

History:
In 1986 an Education Support Unity for students in years 8 to 12 was opened on the Mandurah Senior High School campus. This rapidly expanded to two units. By 1996 the student population had grown to 28 and the unit became a centre. In 2001 as a result of local area education planning in the Peel District, the centre was renamed Career Enterprise Centre, and moved to the new PET Campus. For 2001 only, a year 10 satellite class continued to operate at the old site of Mandurah High School.

Accommodation:
The Principal and Registrar's offices are situated in the main administration building. Classrooms FG03, FG04 and FG05 are situated on Learning Street. A disabled bathroom facility, laundry and storeroom are juxtaposed to the classrooms. One Transportable classroom is set up as a kitchen facility.
