Welcome to Goolwa Primary School

At Goolwa Primary School (GPS), we believe every child can achieve their personal best in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Our values—Aim high, work hard, be kind—are at the heart of everything we do. We encourage students to strive for excellence, embrace challenges, and show respect and kindness to others.

Nestled in the historic town of Goolwa and surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, our school is enriched by its unique location and long-standing tradition of community involvement. Established in 1857, GPS is proud of its heritage and strong connection with local families and community groups.

Our dedicated staff create a stimulating and inclusive learning environment where students are empowered to become confident, creative, and active citizens. We value strong partnerships with families and work closely together to support the growth and success of every student.

We invite you to explore our pages to learn more about our school, our community, and the many opportunities we offer. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit, please feel free to contact us—we’d love to welcome you to GPS.
