MacRob and Melbourne Exchanges
Adelaide High School has taken part in annual exchanges with Melbourne Boys High School since 1910 and MacRobertson Girls' High School since 1913.
Held each August, the exchanges are highlights of the Sport Program. They provide students with the opportunity to compete in a wide range of sports and other events, including theatre sports and debating.
The location for the exchanges alternate each year - the boys compete in Adelaide and the girls in Melbourne one year with the opposite occurring the following year. The experience is a memorable one for all participants and also provides the opportunity for students to create lifelong friendships. All students are eligible for the exchange teams, with selection based on skill level.
