Williamstown Primary School services a town on the outskirts of the Barossa wine region. Agriculture, forests and water catchment areas provide an active learning environment utilised by teachers to enhance both science, and society and environment learning. Our mission is providing quality learning and teaching in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment. School values of honesty, fairness, respect and effort are explicitly taught and underpin learning and behavioural expectations. Our site-improvement plan targets developments in literacy and numeracy, science and sustainability, and student well-being. Special programs include Japanese and science. Teachers encourage students to become responsible citizens through social skills programs teaching group and decision-making skills, involvement in community projects and a whole school commitment to sustainable environmental practices. The development of home-school partnerships to enhance learning is highly valued. A successful learning assistance program supports this culture. The onsite preschool provides a program for 3 and 4year-olds, and an out of school hours care service provides a service to students' families.
