School Board
The beginning of the 2019 saw Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School (KBCHS) achieving Independent Public School (IPS) status. In assuming the responsibilities of an IPS, the school now has the autonomy to structure teaching and learning to the individual needs of our students. Being an IPS, the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Community High School Board has a significant Roll. The Board was formed with the fundamental purpose of enabling parents and members of the community to engage in activities that are in the best interest of students and will enhance the education provided by the school.
