ABOUT US

A Proud History. A Connected Community. A Bright Future.

Welcome to Mount Pleasant Primary School, a place where tradition, community and innovation come together to create a positive learning environment for every child.

Located in the heart of the Mount Pleasant community, our school has a proud history dating back to 1858. Over generations, we have built strong connections with local families and continue to provide a welcoming environment where students feel supported, valued and inspired to achieve their best.

At Mount Pleasant Primary School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our dedicated educators work alongside families to create meaningful learning experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning.

Mount Pleasant Primary School is situated 65km from Adelaide at the south eastern end of the Barossa Council area. The school was established in 1858 in what was originally a church. That stone building is still used today and has been partially restored. Mount Pleasant is a small school and although classed as a metropolitan school, is very much a country community school.

The small school environment means that the school has a ‘family’ feel. The staff know all of the children and parents and we work hard to maintain a welcoming and friendly vibe. The whole school community forms a magnificent team that works together to do what is best for every student, every day.

We have touch screen HD panels in each classroom and the students make great use of iPads, touch screen laptops, the 3D printer and online technologies to enhance their learning. Parents are kept up-to-date and informed through Class Dojo and Audiri.

We have a newly refurbished vegetable garden, a large oval, plenty of play space, and a nature play area with mature trees. The work on improving our students and our school is continual as we strive to make our school the best it can be.

The school motto, on our logo, is ‘Our School – Our Future’. This simple statement says a great deal about what we believe. The school ‘belongs’ to all members of the school community; the staff, the students and the parents. It is the partnerships we develop, nurture and maintain that allow us to develop our children so they become positive participants in our future.
