Springbank Secondary College (formerly known as Pasadena High School) is a public high school in the suburb of Pasadena in southern Adelaide, South Australia. The inclusive school is on the corner of Goodwood Road and Daws Road. Springbank is a specialist basketball school. In 2017 it also adopted a science, technology, engineering, arts and maths focus, and announced formal links with the Australian Science and Mathematics School and Flinders University.[3]

The school's basketball academy is led by Brendan Mann - said to be one of the best junior players ever to play in SA.[4] Mann played over 200 NBL games for Canberra, Brisbane and Newcastle. He has coached in Europe and was a FIBA scout for the 2017 Under 19 Men’s World Cup.

Springbank has a high-ranking ice hockey team, Springbank Sabres,[5] which has won numerous awards, and a dedicated disability unit in an inclusive model where the students with disabilities learn and socialise alongside their mainstream peers. It also offers "Doorways 2 Construction", run in collaboration with the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), TAFE and ATEC.[6] The program is offered to Year 11 and 12 students through the Inner South Curriculum Alliance.  Students complete 10 units of course work developed by the CITB as part of its Certificate I in General Construction program.
