'''Glenunga International High School''' ('''GIHS'''), formerly '''Glenunga High School''' ('''GHS'''), is a publicly-funded [[international school]] in [[Adelaide, South Australia]]. It is located approximately {{cvt|4|km}} south-east of the [[Adelaide city centre]] in the suburb of [[Glenunga]], between L'Estrange and Conyngham Streets, adjoining the major thoroughfare [[Glen Osmond Road]]. The school serves the surrounding suburbs of the cities of [[City of Unley|Unley]], [[City of Burnside|Burnside]] and the [[Adelaide Hills Council|Adelaide Hills]].
Glenunga offers the [[Ignite (youth program)|Ignite]] program for gifted students as well as the [[IB Diploma Programme]]. {{as of|
==History==
The school was established in 1903 from the defunct [[Adelaide Agricultural School]] (founded 1897 with Andrew Ferguson as headmaster) as the [[University-preparatory school|Preparatory School]] for the [[University of South Australia|South Australian School of Mines and Industries]]. It was renamed the Junior Technical School in 1914 and then '''Adelaide Technical High School''' in 1918.<ref name="Kohler" /> The school and the Old Scholars Association marked 1998 as the centenary year.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
It was located at the School of Mines building (which houses Brookman Hall — named for benefactor [[George Brookman]]) on the corner of [[North Terrace, Adelaide|North Terrace]] and [[Frome Road, Adelaide|Frome Road]], now part of the City East campus of the [[University of South Australia]]. The school population outgrew the campus, so in 1964 it was relocated to its current location in Glenunga, and was renamed Glenunga High School in 1974. It adopted its current name upon the introduction of the [[IB Diploma Programme|International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme]] in 1990–91 with the aid of [[Greg Crafter|The Honourable Greg Crafter]],<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nTUjMNjNo3EC&q=greg+crafter+glenunga&pg=PA291 |title=Schools Across Frontiers: The Story of the International Baccalaureate and the United World Colleges |isbn=9780812695052 |year=2003|publisher=Open Court }}</ref> a development which was instigated to help save the school from closure due to dwindling student numbers. With enrolments rising, GIHS has subsequently attracted substantial government funding and construction projects, most notably the technology and science wing extensions, a new administration block, and a performing arts centre; since 2005 there have been various additional changes to the facilities, such as extra rooms.
In 2013, development began for a new $10 million building to accommodate the growing number of students.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gihs.sa.edu.au/__files/f/10398/_f_New%20Building%20How%20Does%20it%20Work.pdf |title=GIHS 2013 New Building Flyer |access-date=26 May 2015 |archive-date=4 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304075451/http://www.gihs.sa.edu.au/__files/f/10398/_f_New%20Building%20How%20Does%20it%20Work.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> This new building was accompanied by the renovation of the Music, Sciences and Art departments, as well as a new library. The development upgrades were completed in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gihs.sa.edu.au/__files/f/38700/GIHS%20Annual%20Report%202014.pdf |title=GIHS 2014 Annual Report |access-date=26 May 2015 |archive-date=26 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526131302/http://www.gihs.sa.edu.au/__files/f/38700/GIHS%20Annual%20Report%202014.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
In 2020, the construction for new buildings including technology facilities, science labs and classrooms began. The total cost of the new plan is roughly $32 million.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adelaidenow.com.au {{!}} Subscribe to The Advertiser for exclusive stories |url=https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=AAWEB_WRE170_a_GGL&dest=https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/glenunga-international-high-school-to-undergo-32m-revamp/news-story/31bb2046ac8fd75c37ddfebedd90c95e&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&v21suffix=155-a&nk=5bd4e54292b0fe50b46f8104b9a5b8d9-1603597973 |access-date=2020-10-25|website=www.adelaidenow.com.au}}</ref> The construction has been completed at the start of 2022 for the introduction of year 7s into the school, which fully opened to students and staff in mid-Term 1.
