Thank you for choosing to become part of the Mount Barker High School community. We look forward to working with you.
Mount Barker High is situated over two sites - the main campus on Wellington Road is made up of mainstream 7-12 classes and a Disability Unit (HMIEC). Our second site is the Adelaide Hills Vocational College, located on the TAFE Campus in Mount Barker.
This site has been divided into several different sections depending on the role of the staff member. Please ensure you select the appropriate tab along the top of this page for specific information relating to your role. This page contains several links to general information about our school which is relevant to all staff members of Mount Barker High School:

All students and staff are placed in one of four Houses at the school, Angas, Barker, Hindmarsh and School. These Houses form the basis of our House Groups, which are made up of a small number of students from each year level who work together and support each other throughout the school year. The House Group teacher is usually the first point of contact with the school.
A school event could be classified as a year level BBQ, whole school assembly, parent information evening, Sports Day etc.
When organising school events, a School Event Planner or School Incursion Planner form should be completed and discussed with the AP: School Operations one to two weeks prior to the event. The main purpose of this form is to ensure we run a professional, well organised event and all staff members are informed of their responsibilities in a timely manner. These forms are also found under pigeonholes in staff room.
All staff members are allocated a mentor at the beginning of each school year. This person, who is not necessarily the staff member's line manager facilitates Professional Conversations. Professional conversations are a time for staff members to reflect upon their practices and plan for the future. During these meetings, goals are set and monitored. In addition, you and your mentor will discuss and record the indicators and processes which will lead to the successful attainment of these goals. Throughout the year, each staff member should have a minimum of three meetings and for classroom teachers, a lesson observation should occur. At the end of the year, written feedback is required from each staff member's mentor. A copy of this feedback is also required to be sent to the school’s Principal.
Professional Conversation Mentors are emailed out at the beginning of each year.
