Specialist programs
Several specialist programs run at Salisbury East High School, meaning there is something to suit every student and opportunities to grow and learn.
As well as traditional art and design, performing arts and multimedia subjects, there is a specialist music program, where students are eligible for weekly lessons delivered by Instrumental Music (IM) teachers at no cost.
Our ‘Active Crew’ aerobics club is for those who want to improve their fitness, strength, flexibility, and choreography skills while learning a high-energy routine which is performed in state-wide competitions.
Meanwhile, the Schools Challenge is Australia’s newest performing arts event for schools and, through this experience, students develop a stage-ready item incorporating dance, theatre and vocals to tell a story.
We offer Japanese language courses tailored for students from Year 7 to 12, ensuring your child receives a well-rounded education in Japanese language and culture.
Our robotics program, with a special focus on the VEX Robotics Competition, caters to students from Years 7 to 12, nurturing their passion for robotics, engineering and programming. It provides a hands-on approach to learning vital STEM skills as well as a social platform for students to meet new people. SEHS has experienced remarkable success in this area with our teams consistently qualifying for the National Championship and, in the 2022/23 season, making it to the prestigious World Championship in Dallas, Texas.
Taking part in School Sport SA Competitions, authentic teaching and learning opportunities with direct curriculum outcomes are provided for students. Events include carnivals, state championships and weekly competitions, in a broad range of sports and activities.
Our Specialist Soccer program was created in 2015 and, running from Years 8 to 12, is designed to develop and assist the performance and progress of the students involved to reach their potential. Those wishing to apply will require a high-level interest in soccer, as well as a desire to learn about concepts related to sport, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, and science/technology in sport.
