The State Government has identified a 10-hectare parcel of land in Adelaide’s growing northern suburbs as the site of a new $155.3 million secondary school due for completion in 2028.

The school site, currently a fenced area of vacant land at the corner of Andrews and Petherton roads at Eyre, will soon be the home of a new state of the art, architecturally designed Year 7-12 school.

The school will be a vital piece of infrastructure to support the growing population in the region, with capacity for up to 1300 students.

This is an exciting opportunity for these communities, with future schools to draw upon the latest in education practices, providing a secondary pathway for students in Adelaide’s north as well as supporting the forecasted community growth.

Construction on the new school is due to begin later this year.
