Brighton Secondary School

Brighton Secondary School is located in a popular suburb in western Adelaide, just a few hundred meters from the ocean and close to shopping centers, beach cafés, and libraries.

The school focuses on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), the arts, and sports.

Brighton Secondary School is one of Adelaide’s four Special Interest Music schools and enjoys an excellent reputation both nationally and internationally for its music program. The school’s music center was founded in 1976 and serves as the heart of its numerous choirs and instrumental ensembles. Students perform in orchestras, concert bands, big bands, percussion ensembles, and chamber music groups, and appear at events such as ANZAC Day, “Generations in Jazz” in Mount Gambier, and on international music tours.

The Special Interest Volleyball Program has been in existence since 1994, is supervised by four specialized coaches, and has over 350 students. The school has its own volleyball gym with three indoor courts and three lit beach volleyball courts. Brighton has been the overall champion 15 times at the “Australian Volleyball Schools Cup” on the Gold Coast and has also been the state champion in the “State Schools Cup” for 14 consecutive years. Four graduates of the program have competed in the Olympic Games.

In addition to regular classes, Brighton Secondary School offers a wide range of clubs, interest groups, and activities. These include various sports, languages, and arts such as photography, as well as gaming, reading, debate, and creative writing. This allows students to further develop their skills in both individual and team work and quickly make friends among the local students.
