A survey showed that 92% of our staff believe Seton is a fantastic workplace, which is way above the national average of 60%. This means our teachers and staff love working here, and when they’re happy, they create the best learning experiences for you!

Seton has nine Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts (MIEEs) - the most in WA! These teachers are using the latest digital tools to make learning even more exciting.
And that’s not all - our teachers are making a big impact! Mr Michael Brook was named one of Australia’s Top 50 Educators for his amazing work in Technology and AI, and Mr Daniel Forlano has been nominated for the Rising Star Awards for his dedication to supporting students.
