Whyalla Secondary College
Whyalla Secondary College respects Aboriginal People as having the oldest continuing cultures in human history. Our students develop an understanding of diverse cultural backgrounds, appreciating our differences, and inspiring in many a life long respect for the uniqueness and perspective of every individual.
Our students will become the social, political and cultural leaders of the next generation and the school has a clear responsibility to ensure that every student has been prepared to respond in a well informed, imaginative, courageous, caring and socially responsible manner.

Whyalla Secondary College Official Opening
March 14th we had the pleasure of hosting our official opening with state and local government dignitaries, as well as site planning and building officials.
It was wonderful to finally celebrate our opening and share our journey
Honourable mentions to the Minister for Education, Training and Skills, Blair Boyer MP and Eddie Hughes MP, Member for Giles, who joined Principal Tricia Richman and the team for the unveiling of the official plaque.
🎉 Recently, a group of our Year 10 students proudly completed the Youth Opportunities Personal Leadership Program! 🎓✨
Last week Whyalla Secondary College hosted a special graduation ceremony to celebrate their hard work and achievements. It was a truly meaningful event, with students reflecting on their journey, sharing stories of personal growth and honouring those who supported them along the way. 💫
We are so proud of their dedication and the positive leaders they are becoming! 🌟👏
Our Year 7 Advancing Technologies students have been busy animators this week!
In just one week, they learned the basics of animation and created their own short films. From brainstorming ideas to bringing their characters to life, the creativity and energy in the classroom has been amazing. We’re so proud of what they’ve achieved in such a short time!
✨ At our recent whole staff meeting, we had the privilege of celebrating a very special milestone ✨
We recognised our Deputy Principal, Mrs Nicholas, for her outstanding 10 years of dedicated service within the Education Department.
Mrs Nicholas has made an incredible contribution to our school and to the wider education community, showing unwavering commitment to supporting staff, students, and families. Her leadership, passion, and dedication over the past decade have had a lasting impact, and we are so grateful to have her as part of our Whyalla Secondary College team.
👏 Congratulations, Mrs Nicholas, on this wonderful achievement!
Just like that … term 3 is done and dusted! 🎉
Time to hit pause, recharge the batteries and enjoy a well-earned holiday break ⛱️
A huge thank you to our amazing staff, students and families for all your hard work, energy and support this term.
Reminder for year 12 families:
Holiday study sessions are running over the break to help students stay on track! 📚✏️ Emails with all the details have been sent out—please check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case). We encourage all year 12 students to take advantage of this great opportunity to prepare for the final term!
Wishing everyone a safe, happy and restful break – we can`t wait to see you back, refreshed and ready for the grand finale in term 4! 🌟
📣 Update 📣 Update 📣 Update 📣
Our Year 10 camp students are expected back at the college at 4.30pm 🚌 🙌
Recently the AHEAD students from Whyalla Secondary College visited Long Street Primary School, where they set up and ran various fine motor skill activities. We aren`t sure who had more fun, the college students, or the reception/year 1 students.
Kytons orders have arrived and can be collected from the front office 🥧🍪
👏 Recently, our year 9 and 10 students travelled to Port Augusta to compete against Samaritan College, Port Augusta Secondary School and Caritas College.
🌟 Both our year 9 and 10 boys teams came away with a win each, and our 9/10 girls` team had an awesome day, winning 2 of their games!
A big thank you to Steavi for volunteering her time to umpire – we couldn’t have done it without you! 💜💙💚🧡
