Urrbrae Agricultural High School

this was a great school !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was bullied in primary school and didn't have many friends. However, once I got to Urrbrae, everything changed. I met a great group of friends at Urrbrae who had similar interests, and I excelled in hands-on subjects such as beekeeping, aquaculture, horticulture and conservation and land management. As well as academic subjects such as biology, maths and animal science and as such, after primary school, my grades and attitude towards school significantly increased due to being able to pick subjects I was interested in. Urrbrae’s lunchtime clubs were also a great way to meet like-minded people in year 8. Most of the students are friendly and have similar interests due to submitting an application, and most teachers are also great. Honestly, I had some friends who left due to homophobia. However, it was the best school I could have ever gone to, and I will always be grateful for the time I spent at Urrbrae and the great memories I created there. I would highly recommend it.

Its an alright school i live in the Adelaide hills so it takes a little while to get down so thats annoying, the bus down to school and up to the hills is always full though. I honestly didn't get in till year 9 and it was very intimidating in terms of both work load and finding the different buildings. I would go to urrbrae again if i were to go to school again, it offers a fair bit in terms of job connections and apprenticeships. Agricultural is great best school for that in SA in my opinion but for work experience i went on a station and the school didn't allow students to ride motorbikes or quads but otherwise it was school it came with lots of stress but plenty of help along the way from the gpod teacher.

Urrbrae had some amazing opportunities where if you only need to just take part. I went to the royal show, did wine making, looked after the sheep, All while being apart of their amazing science unit, practising physics.
