Cape Naturaliste College is a comprehensive public co-educational high day school, located in Vasse, a regional centre in the South West region, 240 kilometres (149 mi) south of Perth, Western Australia.
The school was established in 2008 and admitted 95 foundation Year 8 students in February of that year. The Minister of Education, Mark McGowan, announced later the same year that the school would become a senior high school and enrol students for Year 11 courses in 2011 and Year 12 in 2012.[2]
The college is built on an 8-hectare (20-acre) site and is surrounded by natural bushland. It is of an award-winning design[3] and was constructed at an initial cost of $21 million.[4] However, in 2019–20 over $32 million was spent to upgrade the Science, English, and arts departments (among others).[5]
The school has a multi-media centre, a performing arts centre, visual arts studios, information technology resources, a music program and a cafe.
