Principal’s Message

Welcome to Athelstone School.

Located in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges between the River Torrens in the north and the Black Hill / Morialta Conservation Parks in the south, we are perfectly positioned to provide your child with the learning experiences necessary for engagement with not only their local communities, but within a larger global context.

At Athelstone School your child will grow and succeed, whatever their passion. If they love being outdoors, our outdoor classroom, nature play, and kitchen garden will inspire them to undertake stewardship of natural environments. If they love playing sport, our sports programs will keep them active whilst developing their skills. If they are musical, our instrumental music programs and specialist performing arts lessons will foster their talent in the arts and if they have a love of learning our approaches will nurture their curiosity and allow them to inquire into their world whilst ensuring they have embedded numeracy and literacy skills.

RIVER – Our values, just like the River Torrens, wind their way through a school culture focused on wellbeing. ‘Respect’ and ‘integrity’ are encouraged through an active ‘vision’ fostering ‘excellence’ and ‘responsibility’ in everything we do.

We look forward to you joining us and being part of the Athelstone School learning community.
