WELCOME
| It is my pleasure as Principal of Marryatville
High School to welcome you to our innovative and exciting school.
Our vision, 'Optimism and excellence within a diverse community',
is supported by community values which include achievement and success,
trust and honesty, rights and respect, self worth and enjoyment, and
these provide the foundation for work on a daily basis

Established
in 1976, Marryatville High School is a Special Interest Music School
with a significant International Program, a Special Interest Tennis
Program, an extensive Co-Curricular Program and a program for students
with high intellectual potential. The school has achieved international
accreditation through the Council of Internationally Accredited Schools
(Australia) and has a strong focus on student achievement, engagement
and well-being. Our teaching and support staff meet the highest professional
standards in their commitment to the school and care for students.

amongst gum trees lining the banks of First Creek, the school's unique
physical environment provides an atmosphere conducive to learning
as well as an on-campus site for environmental education. Buildings
range from the heritage listed Eden Park, and the traditional main
building to the state-of-the art Music Suite. The Forge, a 338 seat
Performing Arts Centre, was opened in 2005. Over 1130 local and 100
international students benefit from individualised attention provided
by a dedicated faculty and support staff. These young men and women
are challenged and encouraged to strive for excellence and to contribute
positively to our global community. |
