Woodcroft College

Woodcroft College is a coeducational, Anglican day school for students from Reception to Year 12. An International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, Woodcroft College offers the Primary Years Program (PYP) in the Junior School, the Middle Years Program (MYP) in the Middle School, and the Diploma (DP) in the Senior School. Senior School students may also choose the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) with its Vocational Education and Training (VET) pathway.
The school aims to provide students with an excellent, all-round education in a Christian environment. The curriculum is broad and relevant, meeting the students' intellectual, physical, social, and emotional needs. The school has a strong pastoral care focus, a broad extra-curricular program (involving outdoor education, sports, clubs, and performing arts), and an international focus, with annual student exchanges with Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Our staff is committed to ensuring that every child achieves their personal best. Through the benefits of the International Baccalaureate Programs, your child will be encouraged to take risks and acquire an independent learner's lifelong skills. They will be encouraged and supported to excel in their studies, both personally and academically.
In September 1982, the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of Adelaide decided that all parents who wanted a Christian education for their children should have that chance. On 15 February 1988, the Rev Dean Barker was appointed Principal of Woodcroft Anglican High School. From its humble origins and an initial enrolment of seventy-one students in 1989, the school has developed through the vision of the long-serving Head, Mark Porter, and our valued community's support.
Listening to parents say why they send their children to Woodcroft reaffirms the primary aims and objectives of the College. The school has a long-standing reputation for providing students with an excellent, all-round education in a Christian environment. Parents value our curriculum, which is diverse and addresses the learning needs of our students. They value the commitment, dedication, and professionalism of our staff. They value our caring, disciplined environment, and Christian values. And they appreciate the sporting and cultural activities that are a part of the extra-curricular program.
The vision and mission statements now appear as endnotes to the philosophy statement. Vibrant means are alive to possibilities innovative means receptive to change and willing to do different things or do things differently if circumstances require it and inclusive means catering for the wide range of students and their abilities. Excellent means the best possible all-round means that we value more than just an academic education, and Christian is essential to the school's beliefs, values, and practices.
