The school is on two campuses catering for approximately 1700 students from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12, including up to 125 boarders in Years 7 to 12.[4] Pembroke provides specialist education for a small number of hearing-impaired students, with the school's "Hearing Unit".[5]
Pembroke School was established in January 1974 through the amalgamation of two smaller neighbouring single-sex independent schools, King's College and Girton Girls' School.[11]
Girton Girls' School
Girton Girls' School was an independent school for girls established in 1915.[11] Pembroke's junior and senior schools are located on what is now called the Girton campus.
King's College
King's College was an independent school for boys founded in 1923 as a joint venture between the Congregational Church and the Baptist Union in South Australia.[12] Pembroke's middle school is located on what is now called the King's campus.
Events
In October 2003, arsonists targeted the school's drama building. The structure was damaged and students' art and drama projects destroyed.[13]
In 2006, Pembroke became the first school in South Australia to be granted an exemption from anti-discrimination laws in order to accept a greater number of girls than boys. The exemption was required because a gender imbalance which had arisen in lower year levels had to be redressed. The exemption was extended for a further three years in August 2009.[14]
Pembroke continues to embark upon building projects, funded in part by donations and fundraising. In November 2007, plans to build a multimillion-dollar visual arts and centre and auditorium were announced.[15] The building was completed in March 2009 and officially opened in May.
With the advent of the Building Education Revolution, the heritage-listed Angove House on the Girton campus was refurbished and restored. Work on the junior school established new classrooms and the new Early Learning Centre.
In the junior school, students are allocated into one of four "houses", Torrens (Blue), Yorke (Yellow), Spencer (Green) and Flinders (Red), which are used for sporting events.
Upon entry into either the middle or senior schools, students are allocated one of the school's eight houses: Hill (red), Wright (dark green), Smith (light blue), Yates (yellow), Mellor (navy), Medlin (purple), Reeves (orange) and the school's newest house, Oats (lime green).
In the middle school, houses define tutorial groups and have a significant effect on students' subject teachers.
The houses play an important role in the organisation of pastoral care, intra-school sport and other activities.
Upon entry into the senior school students remain in the house allocated to them in middle school but do not remain in the same house allocated tutorial groups. Students are placed in a tutorial with one of their subject teachers. Students stay in this group for their two years in senior school, even if their tutor is no longer their subject teacher.
Curriculum
The Pembroke School curriculum follows a framework covering the eight nationally recognised key learning areas: English, mathematics, science, humanities, languages, arts, health and physical education and technology. Within each of Pembroke's sub-schools there exists a branch of the "Hearing Unit" which offers specialist assistance and support for hearing-impaired students.
From the ELC to Year 6, students follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) and commence studies of a second language with Spanish. Foreign language studies continue with a broader range of options in the middle school up to Year 10.
In the Middle School, all students study English, Maths, Science and Physical Education as part of the core curriculum. Students in years 7-9 also study History, Geography and Health, whilst students in year 10 undertake the SACE Personal Learning Plan; Social, Emotional and Personal Development (SEPD) and Australian History. In year 7, students choose to study two Languages from Spanish, Chinese, French, German, or, as a recent addition to the curriculum, Kaurna, for a semester each, and continue to study one or both the languages in year 8.[16] Year 7 students also study Visual Art, Music, Drama, Digital Technology and Design Technology, and can choose to continue these subjects in years 8-10. Geography, World History, Commerce, Film and Sports Exercise Science become additional elective subjects in Year 10. Pembroke School also offers English as an Additional Language as a subject, or an intensive English course under the Pembroke Connect Program.
Pembroke has an outdoor education program designed to promote respect for the outdoors and provide students with skills and knowledge of the environment.
The base of the program in the middle school is "Old Watulunga", a 17 hectares (42 acres) property on the Finniss River, 75 kilometres (47 mi) south of Adelaide. Students participate in camps based at "Old Watulunga" and participate in activities such as canoeing, sailing, bushwalking, rock climbing and orienteering.[18]
In year 7, students spend two nights at Old Watulunga learning the foundations to Outdoor Education. They then build on these foundations in the year 8 program, where they spend three nights at the campsite and experience a one night "bushwalk" in preparation for the year 9 program in which students go to Innes National Park in the York Peninsula for a four night camp involving a two night expedition. The year 10 camp has students embarking on a five night water expedition from Old Watulanga down the Coorong with one day of training followed by two and a half days of sailing and then two and a half days of kayaking. Through all these experiences, students are exposed to a number of skills such as cooking on trangias, camping in tents and bush safety.
Outdoor Education in the Senior School is offered as a SACE subject at either a semester or a full year at Stage 1 and a full year subject at Stage 2.
Since 1986, when then teacher Campbell Whalley began the program, Pembroke students have participated in teddy bear making classes. Students construct bears by hand and donate the products to disadvantaged individuals. Over 3000 bears have been made over 20 years. By 2002 the program had spread as far as the Aboriginal community in Marree.[21]
Cookery book
The Green and Gold Cookery Book is a heritage icon for both Pembroke School and Australia. The book was first compiled in 1923 as a form of fundraising for King's College. The school community contributed recipes and purchased advertising space in the book in order to cover the cost of publishing its first edition.[22]
Former students of Pembroke School, Girton Girls' School and King's College are known as "Old Scholars" and may elect to join the Pembroke Old Scholars' Association.[24] Some notable Old Scholars include:
