Murray Bridge High School

What Murray Bridge High School does

Murray Bridge High School is a regional public secondary school located in Murray Bridge, South Australia, approximately 80 kilometres from Adelaide. Founded in 1913, it is operated by the South Australian Department for Education and delivers the Australian Curriculum and South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) to students in Years 8-12, supported by specialized academic and wellbeing programs including a Music Focus School designation, an Inclusive Education Centre, an Independent Learning Centre, and Vocational Pathways with Careers & Pathways guidance. Extracurricular offerings include a Digital Learning & Laptop Program, Aboriginal Education initiatives, a Student Wellbeing service, an Online Art Gallery, three Pedal Prix racing teams (afterMATH, afterSHOCK, EVERafter), and a Student Robotics Club that competed at ROKLive 2026.

The school's business model is state-funded: as a public secondary school it does not charge tuition to domestic families, with revenue derived from the South Australian Department for Education and ancillary income from uniforms, canteen services, and curriculum materials. An additional revenue stream is generated through the school's International Students Program, operated under CRICOS Number 00018A, which enables the enrollment of overseas fee-paying students under Commonwealth regulation. Go-to-market is conducted via the school website, regular newsletters, the Daymap Parent Portal, scheduled school tours, and direct enrollment supported by regional bus services.

The institution is staffed by 51-100 employees, including a Head of Department / Business Manager, and serves a regional catchment with global reach limited to its international student recruitment channel. Governance is provided through a Governing Council in an advisory capacity, consistent with standard Australian public-school structures.
