Flaxmill Primary School has provided quality education for more than 40 years. It is situated at Morphett Vale, alongside the junior primary school, and includes a Child-Parent Centre. The school has a Category 2 rating in relation to its level of complexity. The school has a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and student wellbeing which in recent times has been supported by a whole school focus on 'Accelerated Literacy' and the provision of ICT resources such as interactive whiteboards. The school's values of respect, responsibility, honesty, learning and friendship are explicitly taught and developed across all curriculum areas. Japanese and PE are taught by specialist teachers. The school is well known for its involvement with the Gyuto Monks, Aboriginal education programs, festival choir, SAPSASA sporting activities and, in recent times, developing a community garden and a 'Pedal Prix' team.
