Gawler is a Reception – Year 7 Primary School located in Church Hill State Heritage area of Gawler. It was one of the first 8 model schools and was built in 1877 and opened in 1878. The original school building and other original structures are State and National Estate heritage listed items. Our impressive heritage building houses our extensive and welcoming library, a modern computer suite, two classrooms and a large General Purpose room where various activities/ functions are held. The old Canteen is used for our Breakfast Club that runs each morning, Coffee Connections meetings with families and staff, various community groups and the modern kitchen facilities are used by classes and parent groups for cooking.
A major redevelopment was completed in 2005 with capital works of 3.74 million to build a new 8 room classroom block and administration area and associated ground development. The floor plan and architecture of the new building were initiated by our school community and was quite innovative. It has proven so successful it is now used as a blueprint for other school construction
In 2009 a further 2 million dollars were spent creating a spacious courtyard in the new building, constructing a large shaded breezeway between buildings and a small Covered Outdoor Learning Area. Our heritage building also had significant repairs and refurbishment at this time.
A small school yard with limited flat space means nearby Prince’s Park oval and the Sports and Community centre are used by school at playtimes and for regular activities. Our hard play area was recently covered with a synthetic grass sporting surface to promote student activity.
