Our Mission Statement

The Eastern Fleurieu School is a cooperative community where self-worth and mutual respect are valued in providing quality programmes for successful life-long learning.

The core business of the school is to provide the best quality teaching and learning in a supportive environment for all students.

The Eastern Fleurieu School is a multi-campus Reception to Year 12 school located 50 kilometres south-east of Adelaide, South Australia's capital city. Its name comes from the Fleurieu Peninsula named by French explorer Nicolas Bauduin in 1802.

The school's current enrolment is 1200 students attracted from an enrolment catchment of over 1000 square kilometres.Our campuses are set in the foothills and fertile plains of the picturesque eastern Mt Lofty Ranges. Agricultural pursuits include cropping, grazing, orchards, viticulture and irrigation.

Strathalbyn is seen as a service centre for the smaller communities of Ashbourne, Langhorne Creek and Milang. Its close proximity to Adelaide, 45 minutes away by car, (refer to the map on this website) is seen as an attraction to new residents moving to the district many of whom want a fresh country lifestyle at the same time wanting to work in Adelaide.
