Moculta Primary is a small rural school located on the outskirts of the Barossa Valley wine region. We are committed to providing a balanced curriculum, and focus on improving student achievement in literacy, numeracy and science. Student initiated curriculum is utilised to improve the authentic engagement of students in their learning. As such, personal learning projects are valued. Our underlying values are responsibility and respect. Parents and staff support students in building high self-esteem, and being self-motivated and organised with inquiring minds. We also support students in striving for their personal best and working collaboratively. All students belong to the Student Representative Council and contribute to the school's decision making through fortnightly meetings. There is a strong link to the farming community and environmental education is a major focus, with involvement in 'Water Watch', native plant propagation, 'Tree Day' and 'Clean up Australia'. We regularly join local schools for sporting clinics and performances and participate in community events like the 'Vintage Festival', community Christmas parties and art exhibitions.
