Flinders View Primary School opened in 1983 and caters for students from preschool to Year 7. We are situated in Port Augusta, amidst picturesque views of the Flinders Ranges. With an increasing enrolment of approximately 180 students, our school enjoys a rich blend of cultural diversity, with 70% of students from an Aboriginal background. We recognise the importance of school and home partnerships in the educating of our children and we pride ourselves on our ability to work collaboratively and cooperatively as a team (parents/staff) to address the needs and concerns of the children within our care. Addressing reconciliation issues and embedding Aboriginal perspectives in all aspects of learning is important to the future success of all students at the school. As a Stronger Smarter Learning Community hub school we have continued to work toward community engagement, improved attendance rates and student achievement and outcomes. We continue to raise expectations for all, with an understanding that all students can learn, school makes a difference and what happens in the classroom does matter. We aim to provide a rigorous and inclusive curriculum with an emphasis on students being focused on learning. With our school values of team work, honesty, responsibility and respect our ethos is on a positive and supportive learning environment. These values are reflected in all aspects of our practice and taught explicitly through intensive social skills programs, using Games Factory Play is the Way, the Child Protection Curriculum and Learning Circles. We celebrate student achievement through our Focus on Learning Awards, All Stars program and whole-school end of term celebrations. The Aboriginal Education Team works closely with the Leadership Team and other community service providers to assist staff in supporting student wellbeing. Our key curriculum priorities are literacy, numeracy, science and ICT. A commitment to implementing Accelerated Literacy, Jolly Phonics, Phonological Awareness and Guided Reading are key..
