As the school is unzoned, it attracts students from all across the Adelaide metropolitan area as well as some regional locations.
History[edit]
Mitcham Girls High School was founded in 1964. The site was previously Kingswood High School from 1914 to 1917, and then from 1918 to 1963, it was a co-educational site incorporating nearby Unley High School before becoming a girls-only technical high school in 1964.[1]
In 2015, 18% of students were from non-English-speaking backgrounds, as well as students from overseas studying under an international education program.[1]
The school is a member of the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia. Since 1993, the school has regularly had teams participate in the World Solar Challenge.
