The enrolment doubled the next year and a new school house was built. From 1924 the school was known as Collie District High School, and became a Senior High School in 1952.^[1]

In 1900 the school had an enrolment of 110 and by 2009 had an enrolment of 587 students between Year 8 and Year 12, 30 (5%) of whom were Aboriginal.^{[citation needed]}
