The farm is an integral part of our students' educational journey and supports authentic learning opportunities across all year levels. It enriches programs in sustainability, animal husbandry, agriculture, environmental responsibility, and paddock-to-plate understandings, helping students develop practical skills and meaningful connections to the local community.

Growth Through Learning is our vision and underpins everything we do. We are committed to supporting the academic, social and emotional development of every student and creating opportunities for all learners to achieve their personal best.

Kojonup DHS has an established Positive Behaviour Support framework that promotes our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Pride and Safety. Our well-resourced school provides a calm and welcoming environment where students are nurtured, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
