Craigburn Primary School

Australia Private Schools introduces Craigburn Primary School in Flagstaff Hill, for all your education and learning needs.

Craigburn Primary School opened in 1982 providing education for children from Reception to Year 7. The school has a wide catchment area with families generally residing in the suburbs of Flagstaff Hill, Aberfoyle Park and Coromandel Valley. A school zone currently exists to allow local children first right of enrolment.

In 2011 we commence the year with 20 classes comprising of both straight and multi-age year-level groupings. Our staff has a blend of expertise and experience with specialist teachers in the areas of Music, German and Physical Education. Other operations within the school are managed by school service officers and departmental support personnel as required.

Students are accommodated in a combination of brick buildings and transportable classrooms, some offering flexible teaching spaces. Two playgrounds, two netball / basketball courts, an indoor multipurpose hall / gymnasium and a large oval provide play and sporting areas for students during school time and for after-hours school sports.

The school curriculum is based on the South Australian Standards and Accountability Framework covering 8 areas of study. Teachers work collaboratively to plan and program a rich learning program with an emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy skills, personal wellbeing and encouragement for all students to achieve their very best learning. Support and intervention programs are also offered from Reception to Year 7.

Craigburn Primary School has a Governing Council and a number of active sub-committees supporting key school priorities. Our school actively encourages parental involvement and community support.
