Welcome to Aldgate Primary School
Principal's Message

At Aldgate Primary School, we believe in the power of community, curiosity, and connection. Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills, our school is a place where every child is valued, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.

With a rich history and a strong sense of belonging, we pride ourselves on fostering a learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their passions. Our dedicated teachers provide engaging and innovative learning experiences, ensuring each child develops the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Beyond the classroom, our students are nurtured to become kind, capable, and creative individuals. Whether through our vibrant outdoor learning spaces, strong environmental focus, or the many opportunities for leadership and personal growth, we strive to instill a lifelong love of learning.

Aldgate Primary is more than just a school—it’s a community. We warmly welcome families to be active partners in their child’s education, and we celebrate the friendships and connections that make our school such a special place.

I invite you to explore all that Aldgate Primary has to offer and look forward to welcoming you into our school community.

School's Vision Statement

Our vision at Aldgate Primary is to develop life-long learners who are resilient, responsible global citizens showing empathy and respect for others and the environment.

We Acknowledge

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land, the Peramangk and Kaurna peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging of the Peramangk and Kaurna peoples and acknowledge that they are the Custodians of the Adelaide Hills region. We would also like to acknowledge that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still important to the living Peramangk and Kaurna peoples of today. 

Vision for Reconciliation 

Aldgate Primary School’s vision for reconciliation comes from a shared understanding that for reconciliation to be successful we need to show our respect and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, cultures and perspectives. We aim to ensure that we respectfully incorporate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, histories and cultures throughout the curriculum, the built environment, in pedagogical practices, professional development, student experiences and community engagement for all students to engage in reconciliation, respect and recognition of the world’s oldest continuous living cultures.  

We will work toward engaging and building relationships with members of the local Aboriginal community and form authentic partnerships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous people through the development of cultural awareness for staff and students. Our commitment is ongoing, and our practices will be clearly visible.
