Principal's Welcome
Welcome to our website – we hope
that it provides a snapshot of our vision 'A quality learning
environment where everyone belongs'. We are committed to providing all
students with the academic and social skills that they need to be
successful in learning and life – students learn these skills in a
positive and supportive learning environment underpinned by our Values
of Respect, Responsibility Confidence and Persistence.
PPWPS is co-located with the Port
Pirie West Children’s Centre, Port Pirie Childcare Centre and Dental
Clinic – together providing a quality education and care setting.
Intervention programs in Literacy,
Mathematics and social skills development are in place and specialist
teaching is provided in Science and PE. Our school was allocated
$1m to support the SA Government commitment to STEM subjects (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This funding has provided us
with state of the art learning areas and equipment to support
exciting and successful teaching approaches.
There is also a strong involvement
in SAPSASA sport and a wide range of sporting clinics is available in
the area. Choir, instrumental lessons and dance troupe are a few of the
enriching learning activities that we provide.
Student leadership is encouraged
through participation in the SRC. An active Governing Council ensures
community participation in current and future planning.
Our Site Improvement Plan has two priorities, the
first focuses on Maths and the second on continual
school improvement.
We welcome enquiries.
