Old Noarlunga Primary School<br />

The small school with the big heart


Old Noarlunga Primary School<br />

is located in the semirural<br />

township of Old Noarlunga, 30<br />

kilometres from Adelaide on<br />

the picturesque Onkaparinga<br />

River. The township is in close<br />

proximity to the beautiful<br />

McLaren Vale wine region, to<br />

some of South Australia’s best<br />

beaches and is adjacent to<br />

metropolitan facilities, services<br />

and infrastructure. The school<br />

celebrated 150 years of public<br />

education in 2009 and along<br />

with the township shares a<br />

proud history and heritage.<br />

The school has a student<br />

enrolment of 146 students from<br />

Reception to Year 7 in 6 classes<br />

and has a well-deserved<br />

reputation of excellence based<br />

on strong and nurturing<br />

relationships and rigorous<br />

teaching and learning.<br />

Each morning our beautiful<br />

restored school bell sounds,<br />

greeting our students and their<br />

families and is a much loved<br />

icon of our school.<br />

Our students engage in<br />

rich and diverse learning<br />

opportunities in all eight<br />

areas of the curriculum –<br />

English, Mathematics, Science,<br />

Humanities and Social Sciences,<br />

The Arts, Technologies, Health


and Physical Education and<br />

Japanese. Our Specialist music<br />

program is highly regarded<br />

and offers our students<br />

opportunities in choir, Festival<br />

choir and Taiko drumming<br />

and our Specialist Physical<br />

education program provides<br />

opportunities for students to<br />

participate in local and broader<br />

community events including<br />

SAPSASA events.<br />

In 2019 we are rolling out<br />

100 new ICT devices including<br />

over 50 Chromebooks which<br />

will give our year 6 and 7


students 1-1 access and offer<br />

1-3 access for all students from<br />

Year 3.<br />

Fibre Optic cabling and updated<br />

infrastructure will give our<br />

students the latest and best in<br />

ICT opportunities.<br />

In mid-2019 our school will<br />

commence a much needed<br />

OSHC service before and after<br />

school.<br />

Our school is a high<br />

performing school with a<br />

dedicated and passionate<br />

staff team who are future and<br />

improvement focused in order<br />

to maximise outcomes for all<br />

students.<br />

It is not hard to see why Old<br />

Noarlunga Primary is a much<br />

sought after school that enjoys<br />

excellence for our students<br />

academically, socially and<br />

emotionally.<br />

I look forward to sharing<br />

with you our beautiful, little<br />

community school where I have<br />

the privilege to work and have<br />

the opportunity to share in the<br />

educational journey of some of<br />

the friendliest students I have<br />

had the pleasure of working<br />

with.<br />
