Situated in an attractive location between the small towns of Balhannah and Oakbank, we are the only Reception to Year 12 state school in the Adelaide Hills. Our school provides a comprehensive and progressive curriculum that allows individuals to discover and develop new skills, new ideas and competencies for tertiary studies or employment. Our motto, 'Learn, Achieve, Succeed' is reflected both i
n our curriculum and in our teaching. Learn - We cultivate within our students a genuine love of learning. We challenge students to think critically, empower them to develop their talents, and inspire them to engage fully with the world around them. We foster students' curiosity through inquiry-based learning techniques, building their confidence and creativity as they discover their skills and experience success within a caring school community. Achieve - Our holistic approach to education focuses on student wellbeing and empowerment. We aim to make explicit the connection between students taking responsibility for their learning and engagement, and their ultimate achievement. By fostering within our students an authentic desire to learn, we empower them to recognise the control they have over their ability to achieve success. Succeed - Our students find success through recognition of their own skills and abilities. We provide for them a broad range of richly engaging opportunities designed to develop their intellectual, social, emotional and physical capabilities. We instil within our students a strong sense of community and empower them to become well-rounded citizens, able to actively participate in and lead the local, national and global communities in which they live.
