Located in inner metropolitan Adelaide the school has a long history of quality education.  While its heritage listed buildings and 100 year old plane trees present a beautiful and traditional facade, students and their families are well pleased with the progressive and engaging curriculum program offered.

The ethos of the school is to focus on learning and to admire high levels of achievement.  Classroom programmes focus on an inquiry based approach with a strong blend of explicit teaching practices.  The school is currently a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program.   The school also offers an International Program.  The school participates each year in National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) and is pleased that the students score an average which is amongst the highest ranked schools in the State.

The school has on average about 400 students each year placed into 15 classes (See adjacent page on this website for each class).  Most classes use composite year levels in order to best meet the range of abilities for each cohort.   The school offers Music as a specialist subject and the school has a strong reputation for its achievements with choirs, ensembles and individually talented musicians.  Japanese is the chosen language and all students receive a between 50 and 90 minutes instruction time per week.
