Our leadership

Welcome

Mr David Marino, School Principal

Nuriootpa High School caters for students from Years 7 to 12 in both mainstream and special education classes. Our school has a long and proud history of successful achievement in all areas of learning and a very wide range of extra-curricular activities which includes agriculture, sports, visual and performing arts and many local community events. Nuriootpa High School plays important role in the community through its connection with the local wine industry – particularly through our innovative Wine Education program which includes Australia’s first school-based commercial winery – sporting success and strong academic and vocational achievement.

We look forward to welcoming you into our school community.
