Craigmore High School

What Craigmore High School does

Craigmore High School is a public secondary school located at 2 Jamieson Road, Blakeview, South Australia, operated by the South Australian Department for Education. The school serves students in Years 7 through 12, offering the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) program, vocational education and training through the Northern Adelaide State Secondary School Alliance (NASSSA), and a Soccer Academy aligned with the Australian Curriculum. It employs between 11 and 50 staff led by Principal Sarah Jackson and Deputy Principal Leanne Polkinghorne, with a structure of Assistant Principals covering Equity and Engagement, Strategic Operations, and Senior Years, plus dedicated Senior Leaders for each year level.

The school's core products center on a comprehensive wellbeing and curriculum framework. The CARE Program (Culture, Attendance, Relationships, Empowerment) anchors social-emotional learning, supported by The BASE intervention space and an extensive Wellbeing Programs suite including THRIVE (ADHD support), RAGE, JUMP, Feeling Fantastic, PIP, and LES. Academic programs include the Future Pathways career exploration initiative starting in Year 8, the Special Options Program accommodating up to 48 students with Modified SACE and tailored learning pathways, and partnerships with School Sport SA and The Rory's Group for extracurricular activities and canteen services.

The technology stack is built on standard EdTech SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems. The school uses Daymap Learning Management System with its Parent Portal extension for attendance tracking, learning records, and progress reporting. Communication runs through EdSmart, Microsoft 365 with Azure Active Directory SSO for staff, and the Hail newsletter platform. The Qkr! mobile app handles canteen payments. As a public school, the business model is state government funded with no tuition fees; the school does not generate commercial revenue, and canteen services are operated by The Rory's Group under a separate arrangement.
