Tea Tree Gully Primary School is located in a hillside setting and holds a unique place in the history of South Australia, having celebrated 139 years of public education. At the school we strive to develop a success-orientated environment conducive to the learning of all students. We have a well-developed ethos of success, achievement and well-being. Our staff are committed to the educational progress of every child. We seek to challenge those who are more able and support and nurture those who need extra help. Our school vision is 'developing a passion and purpose for learning'. Improved physical learning areas and new technologies have enhanced our learning environment. Whole-school inquiry-based learning is promoted across the curriculum to prepare our learners for a changing world. We focus on the whole child as well as developing strong links and positive relationships with parents and the community. This has resulted in our students obtaining excellent academic results and an easy transition from primary to secondary school. The specialist teaching domains of our school are literacy, numeracy, Science, Physical Education and Japanese.
