Our Story

Welcome to Whyalla Secondary College

Whyalla Secondary College is a state-of-the-art campus, bringing together the former Edward John Eyre High School, Whyalla High School and Stuart High School into one vibrant, modern community. Located on Nicolson Avenue in Whyalla’s education precinct, the college connects directly with Adelaide University and TAFE SA, providing strong pathways to further study, training, and employment.

Purpose-built with a $100 million investment, Whyalla Secondary College supports up to 1,500 students across Years 7 to 12, including 48 inclusive places for students with disability. The three-storey facility integrates the proud histories of Whyalla’s high schools while creating a new, welcoming identity for all.

The campus features contemporary learning environments with a strong focus on STEM, flexible indoor and outdoor spaces, a double-court gymnasium, extensive sporting facilities, and a performing arts theatre for both school and community use.

Our ATRiUM approach ensures collaboration across all staff and disciplines to provide wrap-around support, foster problem-solving skills, and engage every student in purposeful learning. Learn more about ATRiUM here.

​​Whyalla Secondary College prides itself on its inclusivity, innovation and integrity. A balance between tertiary and vocational opportunities are explored through Career Development in order for each student to take full advantage of the opportunities that WSC offers in support of student post-school pathways. We are committed to a safe, positive learning culture that supports each student’s well-being and success, and recognises the vital role of all staff.

​​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.

Our motto is ‘Inspiring possibilities’. This is supported by our school values: Inclusion, Innovation and Integrity. Learn more about our school values here.

Whyalla Secondary College has a vision of the person we hope our students will become. We believe that limitations are built in our minds, but together we can build a different mindset at WSC.

This will be a place where we grow what’s possible – together.
This will be a place where possibilities are inspired by our imagination.
