Welcome to Hawker Area School
For the people of South
Australia's northern Flinders Ranges, Hawker Area School
offers
comprehensive education for students from Reception to Year 12. The
school
is approximately 400km away from Adelaide. Our mission is to help
students achieve
the best possible outcomes in a nurturing and inclusive
environment.
Small classes enable us to closely monitor student progress and
tailor the teaching
program to suit students' individual learning
styles. We have a particular focus on
literacy, numeracy and science but
also teach Indonesian and the Adnyamathanha language, as well as
agriculture, horticulture and aquaculture. The school participates
in
the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program and Dr Jane Goodall's
Roots and Shoots program.
We are an Active After-school community and also have an Active Play
program for
children from birth to 8 years. The senior secondary
curriculum is strengthened by
the inclusion of Open Access subjects and
school-based apprenticeships. The school's involvement in the Pichi
Richi Trade Training Centre Consortium also provides additional scope
for vocational education and training.
