We offer a range of support services that
promote optimum student and staff wellbeing, including the regional
special education class and an alternative re-engagement campus called
the Adelaide Hills Vocational College co-located at Mount Barker TAFE,
which offers a SACE program for about 90 at-risk students (including
young mothers).
Our students work towards achieving a set of
graduate qualities including becoming inquirers, knowledgeable thinkers,
communicators, open-minded, caring, balanced and reflective learners.
Students study in a range of core subjects including Mathematics,
English, Science, Agriculture, German, French, Society and Environment,
Arts, Health and Physical Education and Technology. As a part of our
commitment to developing internationally minded students and staff, we

providing a global focus to our students learning.
On top of our excellent and recently
refurbished classrooms our school has developed state of art facilities
in the area of Electrotechnology and Furniture Construction that develop
pathways to either employment or tertiary studies.
