"Come along and enjoy the experience"

Port Augusta Secondary School provides a safe learning environment for students from years 8 to 12. We are a comprehensive, co-educational secondary school catering for a diverse range of educational needs.

 

Our school has two campuses approximately 2 km apart. Each is unique in its self, offering in appropriate settings, teaching and learning which best suit the learning style of that group of students.

 

Seaview Campus (Years 8 and 9 students) has developed programs for young adolescent students' where small teaching teams and learning communities work together to develop a middle schooling culture based on building relationships and positive attitude to learning.

.

Stirling Campus (Years 10 - 12+ students) has developed a range of programs for 'Young Adult Students' with SSABSA/SACE, VET and general programs which promote success and build independent learning  skills and responsibility.

 

The Seaview Campus includes years 8 and 9. This allows us to focus on the concept of a smooth transition for emerging adolescent learners.

 

The Middle School acknowledges the unique needs of students moving from childhood to adolescence.

 

The intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth and well being of young adolescents provides the focus for the curriculum, teaching methods, organisation and policies of the Campus.

 

The school has an IT focus with excellent facilities at both campuses.

As the students move through the school to the post compulsory years there is a broadening range of subjects offered and students have increasing choice of their study program.

 

At year 11 and 12 students study SACE Stage 1 and 2 subjects. Their choice of subjects is determined by student interests, aspirations and the patterns of learning required to complete SACE.

 

Community based vocationally orientated programs feature prominently in our curriculum offerings at the Stirling campus. The se include Aquaculture, Marine Studies, VET units and Outdoor Education. School based apprenticeships are offered to students as they are supported by our 4 day week timetable at the senior campus.
