Southwell Primary School

Adelaide Schools introduces Southwell Primary School in Hamilton Hill, for all your education and learning needs.

Our student population is approximately 100 students, but fluctuates with a number of transient students. This number is set to increase in 2013 with the completion of the New Living Program of the Department of Housing and Works.

Southwell Primary School has 50% Aboriginal students and also includes 19 other nationalities with many newly arrived refugees.

Southwell Primary School was accepted as a National Partnerships School for 2010 and beyond. This, combined with the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme and Getting It Right numeracy, enables the school to provide a strong pastoral care program and additional support to targeted students in literacy and numeracy.

A strong committed staff, supportive parents and an effective behaviour management program ensure that a positive learning climate prevails.

The school has established strong links to the community through our school-based Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer, the school Chaplin and the City of Cockburn Early Years Network.
