This video is dedicated to all the students who attended Elizabeth West High School, their families, their teachers and the residents of Elizabeth West/Davoren Park at large.
Elizabeth West was a suburb at the northern extent of the Adelaide metropolitan area, South Australia in the City of Playford. The suburb was merged with Elizabeth Field on 11 November 1993 and renamed Davoren Park after the Davoren family, who were early pioneers of the area.
Elizabeth West High School opened on the 6th of February 1967 with 560 students. In 1988 a major restructuring of education in the northern suburbs took place, resulting in the closure of EWHS to become South Australia's first adult re-entry school. On March 5th 1998 a time capsule was buried to mark the school's 21st birthday. In 2022 demolition of the school began to make way for a new housing estate. The time capsule was never recovered.
Thank you to Lachlan Potts for providing the internal footage found in this video.
