McLaren Vale Primary School community is a place where we value learning together, team building and the pursuit of excellence. We foster a culture of inquiry in order that each child is engaged in their learning. Our school is committed to supporting the lifelong learning of our students and community. In particular we are committed to student responsibility and involvement in their learning and assessment. We have a strong academic focus which values the achievements of all individuals to reach their maximum potential as life-long learners. We have a broad, balanced and rigorous curriculum with special emphasis on environmental education, literacy and numeracy, music, Italian, information technology, physical education and indigenous studies. We value, enjoy and demonstrate reciprocal support for community activities that are underpinned by explicit teaching of protocols and responsible citizenship. We are committed to further developing the partnerships between the school and parents. We have school productions including whole-school biannual musicals, music, a chess club, choir, private music lessons n request and Student Representative Council/Student Voice committees.
