About Us

Welcome to Truro Primary School

Our purpose at Truro Primary School is to provide a happy and safe learning environment, where individual differences are recognised and valued, and all students are empowered with the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need to become independent lifelong learners. Our values of respect, integrity, responsibility and success are deeply embedded in our teaching and learning approach, and are reflected in our diverse curriculum. Building students’ resilience and promoting a growth mindset approach to learning are important ongoing focuses for the school.

Truro Primary School is a small school located in the town of Truro, approximately 95 kilometres North-east of Adelaide and 15 kilometres North-east of Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley, the closest regional centre. Truro’s students are drawn from the township itself and surrounding properties, some accessing the Departments LinkSA bus from Dutton. The school has a proud history and has been the heart of the community since 1856.

At Truro Primary School we provide a diverse, structured and student focussed R-6 curriculum where all learning needs are catered for. Our unique learning programs are integrated across all subjects in the curriculum; students have regular opportunities to engage in authentic learning experiences in multi-age settings and small class sizes. Our focus areas of literacy and numeracy are well supported within our STEM Lab and Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.

We are fortunate with fantastic facilities in our school to accommodate each child. These include our indoor gymnasium, extensive sporting facilities and equipment, a range of musical instruments and onsite music lessons weekly, vegetable gardens, a wood-work shed, our own mini bus, new furniture in all learning spaces, as well as specialised educators in the areas of Technologies, Science, Health, PE and HASS.

We have a strong focus on community involvement in supporting student learning, and where possible source community members and facilities to compliment student engagement and educational outcomes. We have a passionate and dedicated Governing Council, who are committed to the future growth and development of our school. Our Student Parliament members organise and facilitate special days such as dress-up days, discos, community events and collaboration with other schools.

At Truro Primary School we celebrate and encourage learner agency, we understand that our role is to equip our students with the tools to be empowered and take responsibility for their own learning. Students transition to high school with the knowledge, skills and capabilities they need for their next stage of education.
