Albany Senior High School was honoured to welcome the Honourable Roger Cook MLA, Premier of Western Australia, along with Albany’s Samantha Rowe MLC, for a special visit and tour of the new Koorntarup West General Learning Area today, Friday, 13 March 2026.

The Hon. Premier Cook was greeted by Albany SHS Captain, Mischa, who warmly welcomed him before accompanying Principal Melissa Walker and guests through the new building.

Also joining the tour were Jarrad Ritchie and Jeff Grundy, Associate Principals, along with Amber Lewis, Head of the English Learning Area, whose leadership has contributed to the effective use of the new learning space, ensuring our school’s ongoing focus on high-quality teaching and learning.
