Mt. Pleasant Primary School is situated 65km from Adelaide at the south eastern end of the Barossa Council area. The vision for our school is a community in which our students are successful learners, confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens.

Student wellbeing is continually strengthened and developed with a range of initiatives and practices including opportunities for our students to develop leadership skills and an authentic role for students in the decision making processes of our school.

The continuous promotion of these values by staff, students, families and the school community enhances wellbeing as well as fulfilling our vision to prepare our students to be active and informed citizens in an ever changing world. We enjoy positive relationships with the Mount Pleasant and District Kindergarten and we collaboratively plan events for each term. Our successful kindy-school relationship has provided students with a seamless transition and continuous learning at the start of their primary schooling. Birdwood High School is the local high school for our students. We also have a transition program for our Year 7s including transition visits to Birdwood High School as well as a trip to Canberra all in Term 4 of each school year.
