Vale Park Primary School, located in the Walkerville Council area, is a short walk to the River Torrens and a few minutes from the Adelaide city centre by car. Our focus is on literacy, numeracy, science and sports. We are also recognised for our innovative approach in the use of information technologies across the curriculum and have interactive whiteboards in all teaching areas. Specialist subject areas are PE, Japanese and science. We also offer excellent facilities for learning, spacious grounds, oval and gymnasium which are well utilised by the local community. The school community is actively engaged in, and contributes to student learning. The school staff and Christian pastoral support worker are committed to providing a safe, caring and stimulating learning environment. Student involvement in a range of environmental projects including the school/community 'Our Patch' program, student voice, student leadership opportunities, music and other academic pursuits further encourage students to develop responsibility. The school's values are respect, achievement and participation.
