Roma Mitchell Secondary College
Roma Mitchell Secondary College has been built to provide a rigorous, quality
education for families living in the inner northern suburbs of Adelaide. The school is
designed to support students aspiring to University, TAFE and other relevant
community pathways. The school is made up of three distinct campuses; girls only
education, coeducation and special education. Students have the broader curriculum
advantages of a large school and the security and support of being part of a smaller
learning community.
The Specialist Sport Program (SSP) is offered from years 8-12 providing elite and
talented students a means of maximising their potential as athletes, while developing
their educational, emotional and social well-being.
