About Us

Aldgate Primary School is a beautiful medium size school set in the picturesque Adelaide Hills. The school motto is ‘Learning together for a sustainable future’ reflects a strong history of environmental awareness that has been part significant part of the schools culture.

Aldgate Primary provides a safe learning environment in a calm and relaxed setting. The school places an emphasis on students being resilient learners who are able to work with others in a respectful manner while developing their confidence as individuals. The school has produced high academic results in recent years.

The school has received a facilities upgrade through the STEM building works which supports the teaching of STEM at Aldgate Primary which is a strong focus of the school.

Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These include; Festival of Music Choir, Volleyball, Instrumental Music Programs (drums and piano), drama and a variety of SAPSASA sports.

Aldgate Primary ensures student welfare through a range of programs and support mechanisms. A student wellbeing leader, Felicity Godson, is available to help the support the social and emotional well-being of the students.

External programs such as ones provided by the Life Education organisation and SAPOL are used in conjunction with The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum. All classes have a buddy class where older students work with younger students either individually or as a group. Student Parliament provides students with a voice in addressing student welfare and education.

We value a close relationship and open communication with parents and families. Communication comes via the whole school newsletter, class updates on Seesaw, EdSmart permissions / broadcasts, email and text message bulletins. Parents, staff and students have an opportunity to provide feedback via the annual client opinion surveys. Our feedback has been very positive and we value open and honest communiation with our community.

Please feel free to connect if you have any questions or queries. I would be delighted to meet with you or organise a time to show you around our wonderful school.
