Our school is located in Plympton, a residential western metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. We are centrally located only 7 kilometers from Adelaide city's Central Business District and 3 km from Adelaide's famous Glenelg beach.
Public Transport options, including buses and trams, make it easy for students, parents and our school commuity to visit us.
We have a relatively intimate student population of around 500 children spread across our Reception to Year 12 classes. 2010 and 2011 forecasts some growth in these numbers, but well within the schools maximum capacities, allowing William Light to continue to boast a family friendly environment with many long term relationships forged between students, their families and our staff.
The harmonious, multicultural nature of our student population provides opportunities for rich experiences for all of us. It is lovely to see in the school yard children from all year levels, genders and nationalities playing and interacting freely with one another. You will no doubt notice this viewing photos across our website.
