 The state government however decided that Eyre High School should stay due to its proximity to the TAFE and UniSA campus.A plan was created where Eyre High School would become the Year 11-12 school, and Stuart and Whyalla High Schools would cater for years 8 to 10.Despite great opposition from the Stuart High and Whyalla High parents and students, the plan went ahead and the last group of year 12 students finished in 1991.
