As South Australia’s premier high school specialising in agriculture and more across key learning areas, we equip Y7-12 students to tackle real-world problems so they can shape today and tomorrow.
Our campus, just 5km from the Adelaide CBD, is on a vast 35-hectare property and features state-of-the-art facilities, a fully operational farm with a diverse array of animals, and a purpose-built, environmentally sustainable wetland area.
It’s an incredible setting for cultivating academic excellence and personal growth, and empowers students to explore the intersections of agriculture, the environment, and technology in a way that no other school can.

Urrbrae is one of the most involved organisations in the Royal Adelaide Show each year. In 2024 Urrbrae had a record number of competition entries and student and staff involvement in a diverse range of show exhibits and competitions.
We prepare students for tertiary education, vocational pursuits, and exciting opportunities in urban and rural settings.
Dairy Club had another successful day out at the Murray Bridge Show. This show allows our juniors of the club to have many of their first show ring outings and is a fantastic event to support youth. Our junior students spent Friday afternoon washing, prepping, and practicing with the heifers, with instruction from some of the club leaders, before heading up overnight.
We started off the day with the heifer classes. With our little Illawarra heifer, Glenbrook Little Princess 19 placing 6th in a large baby class with Izzy Reilly leading. Vachel Sultan Laura, our Brown Swiss, received Junior Grand Champion Other Breeds with Isa Ahlgren and Billabong Tatoo Sunshine Junior Grand Champion Holstein with Cerys Thomas. Sunshine continued to impress by taking out Junior Supreme Champion of all breeds at the show.
Our success continued in the afternoon with handler completions. With students placing in every class entered. The success students have in these classes is a credit to their dedication at lunch clubs!
