Welcome to Coonalpyn PS
Coonalpyn Primary School
(160km from Adelaide), opened in 1889 and is an integral
part of the farming community. The spacious, attractive school offers a
quality learning environment resulting in high standards of learning and
care for all in our school community. We value honesty, responsibility,
respect, resilience and excellence.
Health and wellbeing, literacy, arts, science, and information and
communication
technology are focus areas, with health, physical education and science
offered as specialised subjects. At-risk students are well-supported to
improve their outcomes.
Our music program includes Festival Choir, flute, clarinet and recorder
lessons. We participate in recognised sport (SAPSASA), promote healthy
eating and regular
fitness activities and have a student run vegetable garden.
The school also provides an effective preschool to reception
transition program. Staff
work well together and regularly communicate student progress and
achievements.
Many parents support and attend curriculum special events. School values
are acknowledged by students through their participation in the Kids
Council and activities
such as National Tree Day and the School Garden Club.
