[edit] History
The school first opened in 1983 with 200 students in a single teaching block (now used as the Social Studies block) with a small group of year 8 and 9 students and only 14 staff. It was formally opened by the then Education Minister, Bob Pearce, on 24 February 1984.
Over the years, the school has grown to around 10 blocks and a well equipped on-site library. The school now has a total of 87 teaching staff, 16 administration staff, 23 support staff and 1,264 students.
[edit] Catchment area
Ocean Reef Senior High School's catchment area has been specified by the Department of Education and Training to include the suburbs of Ocean Reef, Connolly, Currambine, Iluka and Mullaloo, as well as the western part of Heathridge. Its neighbour high schools are Clarkson Community High School to the north, Belridge Senior High School to the east and Padbury Senior High School to the south. As many families in the area have above-average incomes compared with the Perth metropolitan region[citation needed], private schools such as Mater Dei College, Prendiville College, Lake Joondalup Baptist College and St Marks Anglican School compete for the same cohort.

- Secondary Extension And Challenge (SEAC) - The top academic students from years 8,9 and 10 are selected and offered a placement.
