Salisbury High School (founded in 1959) is a secondary public school located on Farley Grove, Salisbury North, South Australia, Australia. In 2005 it became an IB World School, and it retained this status in an evaluation in 2010. In 2016, Salisbury High converted back to an Australian Curriculum school to focus on improving areas such as STEM and Arts.
In addition to catering for it runs three Senior School pathways (a University Pathway, a Vocational Education and Training Pathway and a Community Studies Pathway) that lead to further studies, work, or community service.
Technology
All staff (teaching and support staff) use basic software applications with the aim of having teaching staff engaged with Web 2.0 Interactive Technologies. Staff are engaging in MOODLE editing to provide lesson material for students on the internet.
In 2007 it became an ICT and Business Focus school due to its emphasis on learning technologies and information literacies across the school. In 2008 it was selected as one of five South Australian secondary schools to Pilot the current Digital Education Revolution (DER). DER is a Commonwealth Government initiative to have a 1:1 ratio of computers to students for every Yr 9 to Yr 12 student in Australia by the end of 2011.
