Welcome to Suttontown Primary School
Suttontown Primary
School is a small school established on spacious grounds in close
proximity to farming land and pine forests, just 5km from the centre of
Mount Gambier. After 50 years of public education based at the Suttontown
Chapel, the current school
site was established in 1917.
At present there are four classrooms, but the school is undergoing a major
upgrade
that will provide a hall and improve facilities for the library,
computer room and
classrooms. Suttontown Primary's values are
resilience, persistence, cooperation, organisation and confidence.
The school provides a child-centred learning environment that
presents many
opportunities for whole-school activities and
cross-age tutoring. Literacy and numeracy
are focus areas for
curriculum, interactive whiteboards in each class facilitate online
learning, and our Christian Pastoral Support Worker has a major
impact on wellbeing
across the school community. Parent
participation is encouraged in curriculum support, general
activities and the decision making processes of the school.
