Peterborough Primary School
Situated just off the
Barrier Highway, halfway between Adelaide and Broken Hill, Peterborough
Primary School has all the qualities and support one would expect
from a country community. We have a long, proud history and, in 2008, we
celebrated 125 years of public education. Our school community believes
that,
by valuing respect, responsibility, honesty and kindness to all, we will
all be
excellent learners.
Within this practised ethos, a
skilled, caring teaching and non-teaching staff have
prioritised
literacy, numeracy and ICT as curriculum emphases. Special programs
include literacy support, school choir, SAPSASA sport and coaching
clinics, and
music. We have five classes across the Reception - Year 7
range and are combining
with the town's pre-school and high school (with
its trade school facilities) in transition programs to bring a cohesive
birth to young adulthood education environment to Peterborough and
surrounding towns.
The parents and friends of our school enrich us with
their generosity in tirelessly volunteering their support and care. We
are proud of our past and confident for
our future.
