Formerly known as Kwinana Senior High School (1959 to 2007), and originally was called Medina Junior High School (1956 to 1958), the name Gilmore College was adopted in 2006.

The school was established in 1956 and caters for students from Year 7 to Year 12. Years 7 to 9 comprise the College's middle school, and Years 10 to 12 comprise the College's senior school.

The number of student enrolments have been erratic over the lastШаблон:When? five years.

History

The current name Gilmore College, as well as Gilmore Avenue (landmarks in Kwinana) are named in honour of the ship Gilmore or Gillmore 1824 ship which was built in Calcutta, British India in 1824 arrived in a voyage to deliver settlers to the Swan River Colony in 1829–1830. Its fate was that it got shipwrecked on Hard Lewis on 12 April 1866.Шаблон:Cn

In 2003, the Minister of Education, Alan Carpenter, announced a Шаблон:AUD26 million plan to improve educational opportunities for Kwinana youth.Шаблон:Cn

The school was renamed from Kwinana Senior High School to Gilmore College in 2006 following a poll in the local community in 2005. The school's name is taken from the road the school was once located on, Gilmore Avenue. This in turn was taken from the Gilmore, the boat that the early settlers arrived in the area on in 1829.

The middle school was completed by the end of 2007; and the senior school was completed later in 2008.Шаблон:Cn

A fire began in the school under suspicious circumstances in February 2008 causing extensive damage to the school, estimated at Шаблон:AUD500,000. Three classrooms and part of a hallway were engulfed and smoke damage occurred in other areas.

The school ranked at the top of the state for school suspensions given to students in 2010 at a top of two per day. The number of suspensions dropped after the arrival of Carolyn Cook from Hedland Senior High School in 2011 to 605 then to 208 in 2012.

The school, situated in the Labor heartlandШаблон:Clarify seat of Brand hosted a community forum run by the then Prime Minister Julia Gillard in 2012. Other Labor ministers such as local MHR Gary Gray and Chris Evans also attended the event.

Mobile phones and iPods were banned from the school, and Facebook and YouTube were banned from school computers in 2013 to combat bullying at the school. As a result, student suspensions reduced significantly.
