Ulverstone High School is the only co-educational public high school in Ulverstone, Tasmania. It is one of only 2 schools that are in the Central Coast; the other one being Penguin High School. The school was established in 1953 and is one of the few high schools in Tasmania to cater for deaf students.
Houses
The school student body is divided into four houses: Tasman (red), Flinders (Yellow), Furenaux (Green) and Bass (Blue). Each house is run under the guidance of its elected house captain (also a member of the SLC.) The house point system is put into effect at school Swimming, Cross-Country, Athletic and Surf carnivals, with students gaining points for their house through participation and placing. The winning house of each event is rewarded with their house name and year engraved on the selected activity's shield.
