Pasadena High School is a small, city high school known for its family-friendly atmosphere, student- centred approach and successful special interest basketball program. The school's motto 'Pathways to Success' is reflected throughout the curriculum and, in particular, the year 8 to 12 personal development course. Pasadena has a 50 student disability unit, building and construction courses, and comprehensive middle and senior school curricula. We are a vibrant, efficient, effective and well-respected learning community capable of meeting the needs of every student and preparing them as resilient, lifelong learners. As such, we drive and direct a diverse curriculum which includes language studies in Japanese, German, information and communication technology, vocational education and training courses, and a range of intervention and support programs that meet the needs of all students. We also participate in South Australian Public Schools Amateur Sports Association (SAPSASA) sporting events. The school community continues to receive strong support through well-established community partnerships. Our school values are respect, relationships, excellence, creativity and citizenship.
