Principal's Welcome
It is my privilege to welcome you to our community of learners at Prospect Primary School.
For 100 years, our school has been diligently serving the educational needs of students in our leafy green suburb just north of the Adelaide CBD. We are widely regarded for our high academic achievements along with the strong learning dispositions our students, who aspire to improve and develop through inquiry based, multi modal, real life and innovative activities. As confident collaborators and global communicators, our students proudly uphold our school values of respect, success and creativity.
Our caring staff, in partnership with our families are committed to providing the best possible individualised educational experiences ensuring all students reach their full potential as dynamic global citizens. We collaborate closely with students to focus on high impact strategies that accelerate learning improvement and differentiate for individual needs. Honest and precise feedback is continuously provided to enable personal goals to be achieved and future learning to be co-designed.
We have a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and digital learning technologies across the curriculum. Students learn Modern Greek as a language other than English. In addition, Prospect Primary School has a strong focus on Digital and Media Arts, Technologies and Physical Education.
Our student voice “Innovision” team collaborate with their educators, Governing Council and the community to help fulfil the needs of all students. We encourage and promote community spirit by building strong links with our families, local residents, businesses and the City of Prospect. The majority of our students confidently engage in extra curricular activities such as sport both locally and even up to a state level. Students may also choose to pursue opportunities beyond our school based music programs to showcase their creativity as inspiring performers.
As we build strong foundations for academic success, student wellbeing is of the highest priority. We celebrate diversity and continued success whilst fostering a positive attitude, confidence, resilience and a growth mindset. As powerful learners, our students approach their secondary years well equipped, as they strive for intellectual stretch and remain committed to excellence in all aspects of their schooling.
