The location of the new super school in Aldinga has been announced by the State Government.

The birth to Year 12 school – which is expected to be built in time for the start of the 2022 school year – will be built on a 14ha block of vacant land on Quinliven Rd.

The school will cater for up to 1675 students, including 100 with special needs, who are living in Aldinga, Sellicks Beach and surrounding areas.

A new children’s centre will also be built on-site.

The school will have a focus on science, technology and mathematics to prepare students for careers in the STEM fields.

Education Minister John Gardner said the new school would be “state-of-the-art”.

“Demographic analysis shows that this part of the metropolitan area is experiencing significant growth in the number of families with school-aged children,” Mr Gardner said.

“Careful consideration has been given to the school’s location with respect to nearby recreation facilities and residential development.

“This new school will be located in a growth area of Aldinga that is close to the local sporting precinct, with the potential to form a community hub.”

A new zone will be created around the school to try and reduce pressure on Willunga High School, Seaford Secondary College and Aldinga Beach R-7 School.

It is one of three new schools set to be built across the state with a super school in the northern suburbs and a primary school in Whyalla also set to open in 2022.
