both continuing students from grades 7-12 and also adult students who
attend day and night classes in a variety of curriculum areas. We are
situated in the southern suburbs of Adelaide around 6 km from the sea

Space School and we frequently have NASA astronauts visit our school.
Students play a variety of sports including basketball, volleyball,
netball,cricket, Aussie rules football, soccer and we also have a large
number of students involved in rock climbing (we have a rock wall on
site) and bike riding.
