Our school has three key values- Resilient, Responsible and Respectful. Students are empowered to use these values daily.
We have a comprehensive data schedule that helps inform individual learning goals. A sequential and intensive phonics program is utilised at our school. We are well resourced with decodable readers and students have 1:1 devices, iPads in R-2 and laptops in Yr 3-6.
Our R-2 class is called our Little Learners and our Year 3-6s is called The Lightning Bolts.

Blanchetown Primary School
Blanchetown Primary is a small Riverland school located 140 kilometres from Adelaide, home of Lock One. Set on picturesque grounds, our students are supported to be curious, motivated, risk-taking, powerful learners.
River and Willow spent the school holidays with Mrs. Schwartzkopff and her family.
They showed Natalia and Kacey everything they learned this term, like how to be respectful towards the environment, the creek, and the animals, while also being responsible campers and resilient at bedtime. They can’t wait to get back to school and share all their adventures with you!

Thank you to Team BPS staff who are beyond supportive, dedicated and truly incredible, especially Mrs S who loves to run super fun events. You always make my ideas come to life 🧚🏼♀️ Already looking forward to next years’!
On today’s Friendship Menu, students collaborated to create Buddy tracks, played shadow tag and created Friendship shadows with housemate puffy paints! Our special session with a Murray Darling Carpet python was a sure winner! We then went on a Friendship Quest where we needed to answer questions and use picture clues to get to our next spot! Students collaborated in teams to put puzzle pieces together which created friendship quotes and then received MMOT prizes plus a Friendship Frisbee from Team BPS. The friendship handshakes, our kiddos created were brilliant! Plus so much more!
We will sleep well tonight. Happy Holidays Team BPS 🤩
