Morphett Vale Primary School and Preschool

Morphett Vale Primary School and Preschool Learning is our passion and children are at the centre of everything we do.

On behalf of the Morphett Vale Primary School Community, we offer you a very warm welcome. At Morphett Vale Primary School, we understand that at the heart of every parent’s decision is a desire to see their child happy, safe and achieving to their capacity. We know that families want their child to enjoy and gain value from their schooling lives, gain a passion for learning and be supported, as required, to achieve success across all domains of their development. Our key goal as a school community is to support each child to gain the necessary knowledge, skills and attributes to ensure that they are confident, competent and engaged in both their schooling as well as in their lives generally. Our work is focussed on supporting and preparing our students to take their place in the world as responsible citizens that lead enjoyable and fulfilling lives. We aim high and offer a range of innovative programs and practices that strongly support our students to achieve the very best they can. Our school environment is open and welcoming and is underpinned by high standards and a strong commitment to our school community values. Please don’t hesitate to contact the school in regard to any question or query that you may have. We would be pleased to elaborate on any aspect of our school as well as organise a school tour if you require.

🌿 **Growing connection, culture and community.** 🌿

Today, we were proud to welcome City of Onkaparinga, who generously donated a selection of local native plants to our school.

Alongside our Deputy Principal, Mr Hollick, our AECO Simon, and some of our Aboriginal students, we spent the day planting and caring for our native garden. 🌱

What makes these opportunities so special is seeing our Indigenous students choose to be involved, embracing the chance to connect with culture, learn from Country and care for the land around them.

Creating spaces where our students can strengthen their cultural connection, build pride and share in meaningful experiences is an important part of who we are.

**At our school, connection matters — to culture, to Country and to community.** ❤️

🌿 Come and discover a school where every child is encouraged to grow, connect and belong.

🌿 Happy Early Childhood Educators’ Day! 🌿

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful Preschool team — Hollie, Kristy, Erina, Rachel H and Tamika. 💛

Every day, they work incredibly hard to create a warm and welcoming Preschool where strong relationships with children and families are at the heart of everything they do.

Through play, exploration and meaningful experiences, they create an environment where children are encouraged to be curious, build confidence and develop a genuine love of learning. It’s a place where the magic of childhood is celebrated, while children are supported to develop the skills, knowledge and foundations that will carry them into school and beyond.

We are so grateful for the care, patience, creativity and dedication our Preschool educators bring each day, and for the important role they play in giving our youngest learners such a positive beginning to their learning journey.

Happy Educators’ Day, Hollie, Kristy, Erina, Rachel H and Tamika! Thank you for everything you do for our children, families and school community. 🌱✨

🌱 **Growing, learning and connecting with our environment** 🌱

Our friends from **Greenhill Living** are regular visitors at Morphett Vale Primary School, giving our students plenty of opportunities to get their hands dirty and learn through gardening! 🪴🌿

These sessions are about so much more than planting and growing. They give our children opportunities to connect with the natural environment, learn where food comes from, develop practical skills and experience the satisfaction of caring for something and watching it grow. 💚

At Morphett Vale Primary School, we value learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Whether it’s in our gardens, through nature-based learning or alongside members of our wider community, we want our students to feel connected to the world around them.

🌿 **Looking for a school where your child can learn, grow and belong?**

Places for our **Mid-Year Reception intake in 2027 are limited**, with enrolment enquiries also welcome across other year levels.

If Morphett Vale Primary School sounds like the right fit for your family, we’d love to hear from you. **Contact us now to find out more or arrange a visit.** 🌱

📚✨ BOOK WEEK 2026 | SYMPHONY OF STORIES ✨📚

What a wonderful week celebrating the magic of books, reading and storytelling!

This year’s Children’s Book Week theme, “Symphony of Stories,” was certainly brought to life at MVPS, with our school filled with characters from stories old and new. 🎶📖

On Tuesday, we held our much-loved Book Week Parade, and we were blown away by the number of children who dressed up and the incredible creativity and effort that went into their costumes. A huge thank you to our families for helping make the day so special! ❤️

Each class had their moment to parade their costumes for the school before it was time for our staff to take the stage — and they certainly didn’t disappoint! Thankyou to Michelle who helped put the assembly together and Colleen for all her hard work getting us book week ready.

One of the highlights had to be Ms Mathews as Snow White, accompanied by her very own dwarfs — Mr Mitchell, Mr Plush, Mr Miller and Mr Reiter. 🍎😂

Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped us celebrate another fantastic Book Week. Seeing our children so excited to share their favourite characters and stories is what makes this week such a special one on our school calendar.

💙 Celebrating our incredible SSOs – SSO Week 2026 💙
This week, I want to take a moment to recognise and sincerely thank the amazing School Support Officers at Morphett Vale Primary School.
Our SSOs are such an important part of the heart of our school. Every day, they bring patience, care, compassion and commitment to the children and students of our preschool and school.
They build strong relationships with our children and students, recognise and celebrate their progress, support them through challenging moments, and help create an environment where every child/student feels supported, included and able to engage in their learning.
I see every day how much our SSOs give to their roles. They are flexible, patient and willing to step in wherever they are needed.
I am very proud of the SSO team we have at Morphett Vale Primary School and appreciate the way they support each other, our staff and, most importantly, our students.
Thank you for everything you bring to our school each day. I hope you know how much you are appreciated.

Happy SSO Week!
