From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wirreanda High School is a state government high school in Morphett Vale, South Australia.

Wirreanda is an Indigenous Australian name for "Place where wallabies live under tall trees."

WHS, as it is often abbreviated, accommodates a wide range of subjects and specialises in most popular sports in Australia including surfing. As an on-going commitment to the focus sports, WHS has extended and updated its sports facilities. Wirreanda High School is actively involved in both interstate and national sports competitions.

Computer studies relating to both Information Technology and computer graphics and art are also a major focus of the school, as is music tuition and practice. WHS also provides a newly extended and upgraded facility dedicated to the music and drama subjects.

The address of the school is 105 Richards Drive, Morphett Vale, SA 5162, Australia.

Former AFL star and Big Brother Housemate Ryan Fitzgerald attended Wirreanda High School.

Australian PM John Howard attended Wirreanda on August 29 to use the school facilities. Wirreanda is not a flash looking school so they worked hard for that one day to make Wirreanda look presentable. When John Howard left the school reverted back to its normal ways.
