Meet Sally, a year 12 student at Le Fevre High School who has a passion for engineering and the maritime industry! ⚓🌊

Do you know an outstanding Aboriginal learner who’s currently in year 10?

Let them know that the Dame Roma Mitchell scholarship applications are officially open!

The scholarship recognises both academic achievement and community commitment and provides financial assistance to support Aboriginal learners in year 11 and 12 to complete their SACE in government schools.

For Hunter, a student from Henley High School and passionate basketball player, the scholarship is more than just financial assistance.

“Receiving this scholarship gives me confidence and motivation knowing that people believe in me and what I’m working towards both on and off the court.”

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 💖 ⭐

Today we’re celebrating the passion, care and dedication of teachers across the state. For one South Australian family, a love of teaching spans three generations!

Meet Denyse, her daughter Rena, who recently celebrated 40 years in public education and currently works at Victor Harbor Primary School, and granddaughter Jade, now in her third year of teaching at Flinders View Primary & Preschool.

From Adelaide to the Far North, their family’s journey reflects a shared passion for early childhood education and helping young learners thrive. Although Denyse sadly passed away this year, her influence lives on through Rena and Jade.

As Rena says, “I’ve always believed that teaching gives us the opportunity to give each student one year of a happy childhood! What a gift!”

To all our teachers, thank you for the difference you make every day. 💙

More than just fun, it was also a reminder of the strong connections students have built with staff on their school journey. ✨

The 2025 Premier’s ANZAC Spirit School Prize recipients have returned from an 11 day study tour of Paris and the Western Front! 🌍

Each student researched a South Australian who served in the First or Second World War and how they demonstrated the ANZAC spirit.

During the trip, students explored historic battlefields, memorials and museums and took part in the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate, where they laid a wreath to honour those who served.

The trip gave students a chance to see history firsthand and reflect on the service and sacrifice of South Australians.🌹
