About The School

We are very proud of our school, its staff and its facilities. We have computers in each class room as well as a designated computer room giving a ratio of 1 computer per 1.5 students. Our classrooms are of a good size and are well resourced. We also have an art & technology room and a open space drama room for drama, music, meetings and assemblies. All rooms are air conditioned. We have a full and varied curriculum, with fitness and healthy eating a priority. Spanish is our LOTE (Language other than English) taught and Maths is the curriculum focus subject this year.

The school is on three levels in a scenic location overlooking the sea. The top two levels have recently been up graded with new grassed area, swing area and new playground and the bottom level is soon to be resurfaced and remarked for Basketball and Netball. We also have a great school oval across the road from the school.

School Values are a big focal point and our school along with Pt. Vincent and Edithburgh schools are all part of a combined “Values” project.

We have 4 Student Governance groups who meet once a week. All students belong to one of the groups – Be Active, Community/Enterprise, Environment or PR /Special Events.

We offer OSHC (Out of School Hours Care) Monday to Friday from after school to 6pm and Active After School sessions one night after school. We also have a CPS worker on staff and music tuition is also offered either on site or at Minlaton or Yorketown. The Stansbury Kindergarten operates on our campus and there is playgroup for preschoolers on Monday mornings.

We also have a big focus on environmental issues. We were one of the first schools to have solar panels installed back in 2001 from which we feed electricity back into the grid and a rain water collection system which services our toilet blocks and is also used to water the top level playing field. We have been part of KESAB’s Tidy Towns since 1989 winning at least one award every year since then, with 24 award plaques proudly displayed in our front office.

We have strong ties with the community with visits to the local Home for the Aged , the local Tidy Towns group and local volunteers regularly coming to school either as LAP (Learning Assistance Program) helpers, hearing reading or working on projects with the children.
