Welcome
Urrbrae Agricultural High School is a special interest school, specialising in agriculture, science, Agri-Tech and environmental studies. Situated in metropolitan Adelaide, the school offers unique features like a sprawling forty-hectare farm and a dedicated wetland, seamlessly integrated into day to day operation.
The school is committed to robust learning methodologies, emphasising scientific approaches and inquiry-based learning. Urrbrae benefits from strong support from the Agricultural Industry, parents, educators, and students, creating a distinct blend of urban and rural influences. Besides agricultural pursuits like animal husbandry and crop production, the school also offers a full curriculum offering like any other large high school along with a diverse range of co-curricular activities including sports, outdoor education, music, and drama. Urrbrae Agricultural High School's approach can be summed up as 'Agriculture + so much more". The school also focuses on developing student gratitude, empathy and mindfulness (GEM) through its connection to The Resilience Project.
The Curriculum Guide serves as a valuable resource for students, helping them navigate their academic pathways from Year 7 to Year 12. It provides clear outlines of subject offerings and requirements across various curriculum areas. Students are encouraged to consult with teachers, SACE and Pathways leaders and Curriculum Coordinators for detailed information on specific subjects.
Urrbrae Agricultural High School's learning pathways align with the Australian Curriculum (Years 7-10) and the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) for Years 11-12, diverse post-school options such as tertiary studies, TAFE certificates, apprenticeships, and careers in agriculture, environment, and technology. Graduates pursue professions ranging from veterinary science, medicine, engineering, law, environmental science, music, education, computer science, and design, among others. The school's broad curriculum equips students to tackle global challenges confidently.
Students are encouraged to use the handbook, along with guidance from career counsellors, online resources, and conversations with teachers and peers, to make informed decisions about their academic and professional futures.
I urge you to use the information in this handbook, along with a range of other resources, including career counsellors and the internet, as well as speaking to a range of teachers, friends, family and community members, in order to make informed choices about your future.
