The Wanneroo Senior High School Specialist Australian Football program has concluded the 2009 season on a high with all students participating in Grand Final week activities.

The Specialist Football Course at Wanneroo Senior High School provides students with a passion for the game, the opportunity to develop football skills as a part of a recreational or career pathway. Australian Rules Football is one of the most popular winter sports played by both men and, increasingly women. As such, the course welcomes both boys and girls. Many young people come to the course with a background in football through playing with local clubs. 

Collectively the West Perth District has over 80 schools in Metropolitan area, all of which are offered free support with their Football competitions and programs.
