Sturt Street Community School is located in the heart of Adelaide in a magnificent heritage building and within walking distance to beautiful surrounding parklands, sports fields and cultural attractions. In 2004, the school facilities and grounds were redeveloped and now offers school, pre-school and child care in a safe and secure environment. The school is at the forefront of policy and learning and has a rigorous approach to the acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills. There is a strong emphasis on engaging parents in their children's learning and a welcome central piazza provides opportunities for interactions across all age groups.
