Welcome to Eastern Fleurieu R-12 School
Eastern Fleurieu R-12 School is a multi-campus Reception to Year 12 school, located south-east of Adelaide, in the heart of the richest agricultural precinct and tourism destination of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Our name comes from the Fleurieu Peninsula, named by French explorer Nicholas Baudin in 1802. The school was established in 1996, following a review of educational provision in this area. The new school emerged as a result of an amalgamation of five existing schools in Strathalbyn, Langhorne Creek, Milang and Ashbourne. While the particular history and identity of each campus have been maintained, we moved to adopt a stronger whole school approach through building on the capacity of staff, students, parents and wider communities to create synergies in providing outstanding educational options and outcomes for all our students.
Strathalbyn is a picturesque and growing town about 50kms from the state capital of Adelaide. Langhorne Creek is 15kms east of Strathalbyn in an area dominated by beautiful vineyards in one of Australia’s oldest wine-making districts. Milang is 20kms south of Strathalbyn on the shores of Lake Alexandrina, which is an important part of the River Murray system. Ashbourne is situated 15kms to the west of Strathalbyn in an area where towering eucalyptus trees and other native vegetation are prominent.
Our school’s values of Respect, Integrity, Determination and Teamwork underpin the behaviours that are positively promoted and explicitly taught at Eastern Fleurieu R-12 School.
We trust you and your children will enjoy your experiences at Eastern Fleurieu School and we genuinely welcome your feedback.
