Welcome to Warriappendi School
Warriappendi is a small secondary school specifically for Aboriginal students. We are located in Marleston, 4.1km from the Adelaide GPO. Warriappendi School engages young people in their education by creating a positive learning environment in which students are able to experience a strong sense of belonging.
The school provides students with an opportunity to build on existing knowledge through high level individual planning and support. We offer small class sizes (staffed at a 1:8 teacher to student ratio), and a focus on quality teaching and learning.

On Wednesday morning Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson, Governor of South Australia and her husband Mr Rod Bunten visited Warriappendi School.
Her Excellency addressed the assembly, delivered an Acknowledgement to Country in Kaurna language and enjoyed morning tea with the Warriappendi School community.
We are proud of Warriappendi School students who participated wonderfully throughout the morning.
On Wednesday the junior boys continued their weekly team building excursions at ten pin bowling and laser tag. The boys showed great sportsmanship, encouraging each other in both activities. Finishing off with a BBQ in the park, how good!

Last Friday morning Warriappendi School received an unexpected call from The Australian Defence Force... A student was invited to attend one of their ship's docking down at The Port.
A huge thank you to members of The Royal Australian Navy who escorted our student to The Port and allowed him to view the ship. He was excited and happy to have this experience!
Warriappendi School are grateful for members of our community who go above and beyond to support students with their future career aspirations.

What a great experience it would have been for him ☺️
A big future for this amazing young man. 👏
