About our school

Located in the heart of Banksia Park within the City of Tea Tree Gully, our vibrant government primary school is just 20 km northeast of Adelaide’s CBD. Situated at 1–5 Cottenham Road, we serve students from Reception to Year 6, providing a caring and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to succeed and thrive.

With around 238 students enrolled, we take pride in our strong community spirit and our commitment to supporting students’ social, emotional, and academic growth.

We also offer comprehensive Out of School Hours Care (OSHC), including before and after school care and vacation programs, giving families flexible support. Our close connection with Banksia Park Kindergarten helps ensure a smooth transition into primary school through regular visits and buddy programs, making the start of school a positive experience.

Located near local amenities like the Tea Tree Gully Athletics Club and Tennis Club, our school is easily accessible and well-connected to the community.

At Banksia Park School R-6, we are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where every student can Strive for 5.
