Welcome to Yorketown Area School

Situated in a rural area, Yorketown Area School is an R-12 school that provides options
and opportunities for all its students enabling them to reach their full potential socially, emotionally, physically and academically. The school's values are respect, responsibility, honesty, persistence and trust. Current priorities are literacy, student and staff wellbeing, learning technologies and the new SACE. South Australia's curriculum framework provides the basis for planning, programming and assessing R-10.

In the senior years there is a wide range of subject choices with programs tailored to
meet the academic and vocational needs of each student. An increasing number of
students is involved in school-based apprenticeships, traineeships and vocational
education and training (VET) options.

Students are encouraged to participate in a huge variety of sporting competitions
as well as other extra-curricular activities (eg Tournament of Minds and Pedal Prix).
The school has an agricultural facility with students across the year levels engaging
in both theoretical and practical activities. Teams of students are involved in the
Led Steer and Led Goat competitions at the Royal Adelaide Show.
