Nuriootpa High School celebrates its 75th year in 2010 and is located in the Barossa Valley town of Nuriootpa. Our school provides quality education and learning to students from the broad Barossa Valley region, with school buses transporting students from towns across the district. We have a long history of successful achievement in all areas of learning and in a range of extra-curricular activities including sports, music, drama and agriculture. A strength of the school is the breadth and depth of our curriculum, the quality of teaching and our students' accademic achievements. Students in years 8 to 12 develop their individual knowledge, interests, skills and abilities and pursue pathways which lead to successful futures beyond school. Many senior students also access vocational education and training (VET) and apprenticeship programs while still at school as part of their South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). We also offer the Engineering Pathways Program (EPP) and the Automotive Industry Pathway Programs. The school produces world-class wine through our Wine Education Program, 'Nurihannam Wines', is a leader in the performing arts and is the location for the Barossa Region's Disability Learning Unit. (Please note that the performance of students enrolled in the Barossa Disability Learning Unit is included in the Nuriootpa High School NAPLAN data analysis and is not reported separately.) Recently a new multi-million dollar Technology Centre was commissioned and in 2010 our new $2m Languages Centre was completed.
