Ulverstone High School serves the town of Ulverstone and surrounding rural communities. It was established in 1953 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2003. Associated primary Schools include Forth, Sprent, East Ulverstone, West Ulverstone, Ulverstone Central and Sacred Heart Catholic School. The student population has been fairly stable over the last few years and is currently approximately 530 students. Ulverstone High School continues to explore ways to transform learning for students from grade 7–10 with a focus on personalising the learning pathways we offer our students. We are a BEACON school and in 2008 commenced the TAPP program which enables students to experience TAFE and work place learning. In 2008 we commenced a two semester program for all grade 9 - 10 students which provides them with the flexibility of choosing six courses of study for 250 minutes each week. Over the last two years the school has seen the administration area and grade 7 teaching areas upgraded. Art and Science facilities were refurbished in 2002 and parents, students and staff value these improvements. The school has also had substantial improvements through Federal Government funding in the Investing in our Schools program. Areas upgraded include Audio Visual facilities along with the installation of energy efficient air conditioners.
