Welcome to Kapunda High School's web pages. In these links we have tried to give information about our school which has a fine history and tradition yet provides 21st century learning opportunities for our students. Whether or not you are a member of the current or past school community or a first time visitor to these pages we trust that you will get a sense of our school that the acclaimed Australian author and ex-scholar, Colin Thiele,  said in 1957 

'For there is no school in South Australia like Kapunda High School.

In every way it is unique.'

or the parent in 2004 who said,

 'Kapunda High School is a warm, family orientated school.

Thanks for educating our three children.'

Kapunda High School is a relatively small country High School with a current enrolment of around 370.  We are geographically located 80 kilometres north east of the Adelaide GPO between the Barossa and Clare Valleys in the town of Kapunda, Australia's oldest mining town. We are amongst the oldest secondary schools in rural South Australia and celebrated our centenary in 2007. 

The school draws students from a wide socio-economic cross-section, with a wide range of values and abilities. Our students come from the Kapunda township and district as well as the communities of Freeling, Roseworthy, Wasleys, Greenock and Gawler. 

We pride ourselves on our ability to offer a wide range of curriculum and extra curricula activities to our students delivered by a conscientious and dedicated staff who work closely with our parents and wider community.
