Welcome to Echunga Primary School

Our school has a proud history and, I believe, is a hidden gem in the picturesque Adelaide Hills area.

Our setting is stunning and our community environment nurtures learning and positive attitudes.

Echunga offers 8 curriculum areas - English, Mathematics, Science, Technology, Society and Environment, Health and Physical Education, The Arts and Languages Other than English (Spanish).

Echunga also offers a wide variety of special programs - private instrumental music lessons, environmental education, information communication technologies and sport. We offer specialist teaching in Physical Education as well as Junior Primary Music. Older students are offered participation in Junior and Senior choir.

Our onsite Child Parent Centre (pre-school) provides an excellent early years environment and a comprehensive transition to school program. Because the students are on site, many opportunities present themselves for active participation with the rest of the school.

Our Learning Plan involves a particular emphasis on the following -

• improving student achievement in Numeracy.
• improving student achievement in English
• improving student achievement in Science
• enhancing learner engagement
• enhancing learner wellbeing
• enhancing community partnerships

Echunga offers your family strong opportunities to become involved in the school as well as providing additional services such as morning, afternoon and Vacation Care OSHC services.

Echunga is a school focusing on high educational achievement and excellence for all children. It is an inclusive school, and one that values parent involvement and participation.

Please arrange a time to speak to me if you wish for any additional information.
