Rockingham Senior High School is a public co-educational high school in Western Australia. The school is located on Read Street in the Perth suburb of Rockingham.

The school was established in 1971[1] and caters for students in Year 7 to 12.

The school has offered a specialist maritime studies program at the Centre for Maritime Studies involving snorkeling, boating and first aid since 1991.[2] Specialist sporting programs involving netball, basketball and cricket are also offered.

A fight between two female students went viral on facebook in 2012. The two students were surrounded by about fifty of their fellow students cheering and recording the brawl on mobile phones. The fight occurred on a grassed area near school building and only stopped when a member of the public stepped in.[3]

The number of student enrolments has declined over the last five years. The school enrolled 955 students in 2007, then 944 in 2008, to 894 in 2009, then fell to 783 in 2010, 787 in 2011, 781 in 2012 and to 743 in 2013.
