Principal’s Welcome
Emerging from the strong foundations and histories of Daws Road High School and Pasadena High School, Springbank Secondary College launched in February 2019 following a significant renewal and redesign process, forging the next chapter in education at this site.
Springbank’s specialty is adapting programs to suit the needs of students to make learning engaging, challenging, and accessible. With the combination of tailored support and state of the art facilities, we endeavour to provide a broad range of authentic learning opportunities to prepare our young people for their future.
We operate on an inclusive model where all students are supported to learn and thrive. This approach means that student learning goals may vary significantly within each class. At the core of our model is the student’s right to feel safe and included, and we support our students to build their skills and abilities within an environment that’s tailored to challenge them.
We have fostered an authentic sense of community where students, staff and families feel they belong. This sense of connection, coupled with our internal and external wellbeing and support team embodies the “village to raise a child” philosophy. Springbank has strong links to community organisations, allowing for proactive opportunities such as Ice Factor and our Basketball program to explicitly teach the skills of being a positive and productive member of the community.
We also support students to engage in Vocational Education and Training alongside their South Australian Certificate of Education to gain certification in various nationally accredited courses. This includes short courses, full certificates or school-based apprenticeships.
At Springbank we personalise learning today to create tomorrow’s citizens. Our positive, student-centred learning culture empowers confident and creative learners who are willing to venture outside of their comfort zone and try new things. The college offers a unique, small-by-design learning environment, and we celebrate every student’s individuality. I encourage you to explore the website to learn more about Springbank’s learning community, and to register your interest for a Principal’s Tour.
