Edward John Eyre High School

Edward John Eyre High School is located in Whyalla Norrie, South Australia.

The specialist volleyball course lead to wins in state[3][4][5] and national[citation needed] competitions.

The initial enrolment of 5 classes of Year 8 students were housed at Whyalla High and Memorial Oval Primary School.

In 1968 these students moved into the new buildings of Eyre Technical High School on Grundel Street and along with the new Year 8s, brought the enrolment to 711.

The late sixties and early seventies were a period of rapid population growth in Whyalla.

[citation needed] To accommodate the increasing enrolment, a new South wing with 8 classrooms and 3 Art rooms was added.

By 1972, the western quadrangle hosted a portable science laboratory and many "temporary" classrooms, some of which are still at the school.

[citation needed] Margaret Grant made the most of this situation, by relocating the library from upstairs in the main building to 6 classrooms, later 7 rooms in the South Wing.
