Pennington Junior Primary School provided quality education since 1930 and caters for the needs of children aged 5 to 8. Our curriculum focuses on and balances quality education with literacy, numeracy and social development processes that support future education and schooling. We support different learner's styles through programs including music, story play, PE, visual arts, vegetable garden and cooking, with interactive whiteboards in all classes. A sense of community is instantly recognisable and is supported by welcoming staff, respect for cultural differences and through activities involving students and the extended community. Endorsed in April 2005 as the first school in South Australia to be a United Nations Global Peace School, we provide a program that helps embed an ethos of peace-building and child rights understandings and practices. The school values of respect, friendliness, cooperation and getting along, support students in developing successful relationships with the people in their lives. We host a Commonwealth funded New Arrivals Program teaching English to children with a language other than English from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
