Mount Gambier High School is recognised for innovation and all-round excellence. Our motto ‘Nothing without effort’ is characterised by our core values of learning, optimism and enjoyment. We work within a caring and diverse community, with a strong sense of commitment to excellence. We promote positive relationships based on trust and respect. Students are valued and encouraged as individuals and are given the freedom and responsibility to achieve at their best. A comprehensive curriculum across a range of learning areas is the feature of our Year 8-10 curriculum and ensures students have the opportunity to explore learning in traditional academically rigorous subjects, specialist sport, vocational education and training and the creative and performing arts. In addition, we offer language studies in Japanese and Italian. In the senior years students can choose from a very broad range of SACE-accredited curriculum offerings designed to support a wide variety of career pathways. Four accredited specialist sports programs, five special interest sports programs, an on-site automotive skills centre, fully equipped commercial kitchen, metal engineering facility, electro-technology suite and access to a range of externally delivered VET programs provide authentic learning opportunities outside the normal classroom environment. A specialist performing and creative arts centre equipped with industry standard sound and lighting gives students the opportunity to develop skills in dance, theatre and music in a professional performance space. Memorandums of agreement with our sister schools in Italy, Japan and the UK support a range of cultural understanding and language development learning opportunities through overseas experiences and value adds to our international student exchange program. Our commitment is to shape the curriculum into one that supports the needs of all students, that fosters learning in as many and diverse ways as possible, and that gives the student a voice as a learner.
