Welcome

Stuart High School is in Whyalla, an industrial town recovering from a decline in heavy industry. It is on the coast of the Eyre Peninsula, four hours drive from Adelaide. Among the students from Years 8 to 10 are children whose family situations represent many of the rigours of Whyalla over the last few years.

However, with a reinvigorated approach, Stuart High School has growing student numbers, with many students reengaging with school. Like other schools out of the cities, the isolation of Whyalla and the need for new directions makes it important for the students to learn an appreciation of their own environment.

It also makes it important to maintain touch with opportunities and issues outside their community.

The school boasts an outstanding reputation for student academic success in the Whyalla Community and across the State, particularly in the areas of Computing Technology, Enterprise and Vocational Education, Music, Sport, Aquaculture and Active 8 Leadership programs.

Stuart High School places great importance on the welfare of the whole child. A effective learning environment is developed and supported through positive relationships, middle school methodologies, faculty support, individual learning plans and the use of Restorative Justice as the central theme of the Student Behaviour Management (SBM) process.

Student wellbeing is the primary consideration for each Year Level staff team. This is promoted through respectful and positive relationship building and involving students in programs that support their physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
