Colonel Light Gardens is an historic suburb situated just south of the Adelaide CBD. Our primary school is a large Reception to Year 7 campus with a strong link to its local community. The campus is located adjacent to the beautiful surrounds of Mortlock Park and features the historic buildings of Grange and Mortlock, named after key local identities associated with the early history of the suburb. We currently have an enrolment of 680 students which is at peak capacity. A ‘zone of right’ is currently in place to ensure the access rights of families living within the defined school zone. We have developed a culture of success and achievement through established programs and strong relationships forged between staff, parents and students. The staff form a dedicated and highly professional team who work hard to ensure that their teaching methods engage and extend all learners. We are committed to offering rich learning experiences that challenges and supports all students. A safe, friendly learning environment is evident and explicit programs that develop a strong sense of belonging and wellbeing are in place. The ‘Keys to Success’ – organisation, persistence, resilience, confidence and working together are an integral part of all programs. We are currently focusing on the delivery of the Australian Curriculum areas of mathematics, science and literacy. Our aim is to provide a coherent curriculum for all students as they move through the different levels of schooling. Our staff engages with their own professional development and growth to implement the most current methodologies to further inspire the students’ learning. Our school culture is underpinned by a set of enduring values that have been shaped by the community and these are evident in all that we undertake as a school. These values are respect, safety and care. The students align with these core values both in their learning and in their relationships with others. To provide every child with the foundations of success now and into the future..
