Raukkan Aboriginal School is situated on the shores of Lake Alexandrina on the traditional lands of the Ngarrindjeri. It provides a safe and secure environment for students to enjoy their learning. Although we are a small school, with only 16 students, we provide excellent teaching with a firm focus on Literacy and Numeracy. Our students participate in Naplan, PAT Reading and PAT Math testing, which along with our internal assessment, guides our planning and programming.
The school works closely with the Community and Elders come into the school to support cultural activities. Each year we attend the Adelaide Festival to provide students with experience of the Arts and the city. And at the end of the year we have the traditional end-of-year concert.
Students attend Meningie Area School for Upper Primary and Secondary schooling. A transition programme starts from Reception and students visit a Buddy Class each fortnight. To support the building of social friendships our students have recess and lunch at Meningie Area School during their transition visit.
We aim to ensure all our students have the skills, knowledge and resilience to have the capacity to be responsible and productive future citizens.
