Dernancourt School, is an R-6 school and is located approximately 12 km north east of Adelaide CBD in South Australia. There is a very strong community expectation that our school will provide a quality education and environment that maximises the potential of all students. The school’s logo and mission: “Learning Together” represents the supportive environment and positive relationships fostered in our community. The core values of the school are cooperation, confidence, commitment and respect.
We are proud of the high-quality programs offered and we support students to achieve success through our site improvement plan. Our 2022-2024 focus areas are Reading, Writing and Mathematics. Performing Arts, Health and PE and Japanese are specialist subjects at Dernancourt School. We value highly the diversity of our students and their families and we celebrate through learning in class and by participating in special events including Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week and Harmony Day.
