PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME
“Welcome to the Keller Road Primary School website.
Keller Road Primary School is a small school surrounded by beautiful grounds and located 17km north of Adelaide. It is a dynamic school community, offering quality educational learning experiences in accordance with the Australian Curriculum framework. Currently we provide specialist programmes in Science, P.E. and Health.
Breakfast club is supported by Kickstart Monday to Friday. This is a highly successful social beginning to the day for those who like to chat over toast and fruit.
We provide a variety of lunchtime activities. Our nature play area offers a rich and diverse experience that encourages children by making unstructured, free play.
Our school priorities are focused on Literacy, Numeracy and Student Wellbeing and are supported by our active Governing Council. We have a strong student leadership who are a decision making voice and provide support for our students.
The learning environment and curriculum are tailored to suit each student in order to encourage students to excel and develop their own specific talents. A team of skilled school support officers work alongside teaching staff to deliver targeted programmes focussing on literacy and numeracy intervention to support and extend students.
Keller Road provides up to date learning environments with interactive whiteboards or touch screen TVs actively utilised in all teaching areas. We have a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have a newly developed purpose built STEM facility. We work closely with Partnership schools, including the local High School to implement current research and knowledge in this area.
At Keller Road Primary School all students are encouraged to reach their personal best and reflect our values of Knowledge, Respect and Success. We provide a strong focus on positive behaviour with emphasis on anti-bullying and a safe learning environment.”
– Narelle Kusabs, Principal.
CURRICULUM
At Keller Road School we recognise that each student is an individual and in turn has individual needs and abilities.
In every classroom the environment and the curriculum are tailored to suit the individual student and to actively encourage learning. Sensory Integration gives all students the opportunity to explore, experiment and understand concepts through a variety of media. The development of effective communication is a major focus throughout the school.
Each Learning Unit looks and operates quite distinctly from the others as the staff plan to meet the needs of the students.
