7-12 Secondary Campus

Welcome to the Central Yorke School 7-12 Secondary Campus. We are proud to offer a supportive and engaging learning environment where students from Years 7–12 are encouraged to grow academically, socially, and personally as they prepare for their future pathways.

Our secondary campus combines strong relationships, high expectations, and personalised learning opportunities to support every student’s individual strengths, interests, and aspirations. As an area school, we are uniquely placed to guide students through every stage of their educational journey, building lasting connections with families and the wider community along the way.

Middle Years

In the middle years, our programs are designed specifically to meet the needs of emerging adolescents as they transition into secondary schooling. Through Learning Expeditions and Passion Projects, students engage in authentic, student driven learning experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and problem solving. These opportunities allow students to explore real world issues, investigate personal interests, and apply their learning in meaningful contexts.

Our curriculum is underpinned by the core values of Respect, Relationships and Resilience. Qualified and dedicated staff work closely with students to create learning experiences that are both supportive and challenging, while maintaining a strong focus on wellbeing, literacy, numeracy, and individual growth.

Senior years

In the senior years, students are supported to follow personalised pathways aligned to their goals and future aspirations. Whether pursuing SACE, VET opportunities, SAASTA programs, university pathways, employment, or further training, students are encouraged to develop independence, responsibility, and confidence in their learning.

Central Yorke School values the importance of community, connection, and opportunity. Our students are encouraged to participate fully in school life, build positive relationships, and discover their own strengths and passions within a welcoming and inclusive environment.

We invite families to explore our secondary campus and learn more about the opportunities available for every learner at Central Yorke School.
