Rossmoyne Senior High School is a public co-educational high school in Western Australia. The school is located on Keith Road, Bull Creek, a southern riverside suburb of Perth, the state capital city.
Construction of Rossmoyne SHS commenced in 1967 on land that was owned by the Webb family who originally came from Scotland. It opened for students the following year (1968). The name Rossmoyne has no connection with the area but was thought to be suitable for marketing a subdivision in the area. Over the years the student catchment areas for Rossmoyne SHS were from Lynwood, Willetton, Riverton, Shelley, Bull Creek,Ferndale, southern end of Mount Pleasant, Booragoon and Brentwood. Now Rossmoyne SHS has restricted its intake to students from Rossmoyne, parts of Bull Creek and Willetton, Riverton, Shelley, Brentwood and Bateman, although it also runs a GAT (Gifted And Talented) program for academically gifted students. Students from years eight to year ten in the gifted program are required to study a foreign language, with a choice of Chinese, German, French, and Japanese.
Its location, Keith Road, is named after Rossmoyne's original Head Boy, who died after a traffic incident.
A student tested positive for tuberculosis in 2007, causing the school to offer free screening to the rest of the student population. Information about the disease was also sent home to parents. No further students were reported of having the disease.
