Thousands of students across Western Australia's Pilbara, including a significant number of Indigenous students, will soon have access to improved learning and play spaces through a partnership between mining giant BHP and the WA government.

Ten schools are set to benefit from the $1 million investment, which is being delivered through the Pilbara Education Partnership (PEP), a long-standing collaboration between BHP and the State.

The announcement comes after the company announced a record spend at Headland Senior High School in June.

From shade sails and upgraded playgrounds to gardens and yarning circles, the School Site Enhancement Initiative focuses on improving education outcomes in regional communities.

The latest round of funding is set to deliver practical upgrades across schools in Newman, Port Hedland and surrounding communities supporting student wellbeing and connection.

Indigenous students make up a significant proportion of student bodies throughout the Pilbara, with local figures varying between a quarter to more than a third of school populations.

BHP said through the partnership, projects have been developed with schools to reflect what local students and communities need most, with a focus on creating more comfortable, inclusive and easy-to-use spaces.

BHP Acting WAIO Asset President, Tim Day, said BHP is committed to working with Pilbara communities to support the things that make matter most.

"Students in regional areas face unique challenges, and this partnership is about ensuring the next generation has the skills, opportunities and support they need to succeed, no matter where they live," Mr Day said.

"Many of these improvements would otherwise rely on schools fundraising or stretching limited budgets, so this investment helps ease that pressure and ensures students have access to the facilities they need to learn, play and thrive."

Minister for Education, Sabine Winton, said the Western Australian Government is partnering with BHP on the Pilbara Education Partnership to support regional schools and give students the best possible education, no matter where they live.

"These upgrades will create more comfortable, modern school environments that support how students learn and connect each day," Ms Winton said.

"By working closely with schools, this approach ensures the improvements reflect what local communities need and will make a lasting difference for students."

BGP said established in 2005, the PEP is the largest collaboration of its kind in regional Western Australia and has supported more than 4,000 students across 15 schools.

Project works are expected to begin in Term 3.
