General information
Background: Selkirk High School was opened on 12th January 1897 in the red building, which now serves as the Argus Youth Centre. That school was designed to take some 40 students within three classrooms. The modern building now occupied was built in two phases - the older part completed in 1959, and the more recent addition in 1973. The agriculture department still occupies huts in the grounds of the old school. The music block was built and opened in 1996. The main building consists of three floors, with a lower ground floor for the technical education and physical education departments. The main classroom block houses the majority of subject departments, canteen, library, crèche, resource centre, administration office and senior staff offices. The music department was opened in December 1996 and comprises a suite of classrooms and practice rooms, together with a concert room. The agriculture/horticulture department is on a separate site adjacent to the main school site. The school playing fields are situated directly behind the main building. Selkirk High School seeks to be a place where people can learn andgrow.
