Us

Welcome to Eudunda Area School.

When we enrol the child, we enrol the family! Our mission is to work in close partnership with families to provide the highest quality education and care. Our priority is to ensure children enjoy school and are successful.

At Eudunda Area School we provide a safe and inclusive supporting learning environment, where we strive to foster a positive and productive mindset through our School values of Commitment, Understanding, Respect, Integrity, Responsibility and Friendship.

We promote lifelong learning and the development of leaders. We understand that each individual can positively contribute and add value to the school community and the wider community. This is resonated in the opportunity for our students to be represented on various leadership platforms such as School Captain, the Student Leadership Committee and House Leaders.

Teachers have the greatest impact on student learning. Priority is given to developing the expertise of our staff in evidence based teaching practice. All students have the right to high quality care and education.

Students are provided with every opportunity to be successful through extensive learning opportunities both in and outside the classroom. Our curriculum is diverse and we are renowned for innovations in sustainable features and caring for the environment as well as using the community as a partner in learning.

As a school we ensure that we engage with the latest educational thinking ranging from the use of Information and Communication Technology, Literacy and Numeracy and School to Work transition to name but a few.
