　　Salisbury High School has a clear aim and that is to  see students successfully placed in higher education, training, employment and community service.

　　At Salisbury High School we offer a flexible and equitable curriculum, which supports every student to be successful in their chosen pathway.

　　We are committed to offering students

　　Core curriculum using the SACSA and the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program

　　Broad, flexible senior secondary curriculum, including VET (Vocational Education and Training)

　　Personal pathway planning (university, vocational and community pathways)

　　Authentic learning experiences to develop enterprise skills and innovative thinking

　　Extra curricular activities, including a full range of sports and arts and other accredited courses eg Youth Opportunities

　　Participation in positive community relationships and citizenship

　　Opportunities to develop leadership skills

　　Key competencies for work

　　International and global perspectives

　　Through our pastoral care program, students are asked to think seriously about their future as they get ready to select from a wide range of options, which will determine their career pathway.

　　Young people with high personal integrity, a strong sense of self and identity are better able to manage change with confidence and success and be active citizens in our community.

　　To achieve this, we are committed to excellence and to providing students with learning experiences that will challenge, develop and maximise their potential.

　　We believe that students need to increasingly take more responsibility for their learning as they embark on the SACE, and industry credited courses through VET.

　　We encourage students and parents to take time and research career options.

　　For example, we encourage parents and students to access Australia's online career information service,

　　www.myfuture.edu.au

　　This web site is a joint initiative of Commonwealth, State and Territory governments and you can access the following:

　　Facts about

　　- Occupations

　　- Salaries

　　- Courses

　　- Where you can do courses

　　- Industries

　　- Contact organisations

　　In our Middle School, Yr 8 and Yr 9, the emphasis is on a comprehensive curriculum, giving students opportunities to develop their talents, interpersonal skills, teamwork, and organisational skills through the learning areas and cross curriculum enterprise projects.

　　We are also very excited about the improved learning outcomes evident in our Middle School as a result of the implementation of the Middle Years International Baccalaureate Program.

　　Students will be exposed to a series of vocational learning experiences, including workshadowing in years 8 and 9, City Bound Discovery and University visits in year 9, and will have opportunities to link their learning to the world of work.

　　To enable the smooth transition from Middle School to Senior School, a formal Year 10 Graduation is held early in term 3 every year.

　　South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and Vocational Education and Training (VET) information is also provided to parents and caregivers to assist year 10 students in their subject selection and pathway planning.

　　Mentoring and one to one support is a regular feature of the senior school and students have access to career advice from a wide range of sources organised by care teachers and the Flexible Learning Centre, the Student Services Team and the Student Employment Officer.

　　Students in the Senior School can expect to be involved in a range of work experience and structured work placement related to their particular pathway. Many students choose to gain dual accreditation by choosing VET courses within the SACE. We offer a range of these, both at Salisbury High School and in the region, as you will find in this handbook.

　　Our strong pastoral care system focuses on providing a safe, success oriented environment within a supportive and nurturing structure. Through developing close relationships with parents and caregivers, students and care teachers, together we can help young people find their  own  pathway to success  and be the best they can be.
