Principal and staff profiles
Welcome from our Principal
Mrs Kirsty Collins, School Principal
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Ceduna Area School website. Our school is a special place to be, providing excellent teaching and facilities for academic pursuits, sports, music and the arts. Comprehensive information about Ceduna Area School is included here and I encourage you to take a tour of our school through this website.
We are a truly dynamic, vibrant and globally engaged school located on the West Coast of South Australia. Our school has a successful tradition of innovative learning practices and excellence in many areas. Our staff take great pride in providing a safe and secure learning environment, whilst at the same time providing a full range of dynamic and challenging academic and extracurricular programs.
Ceduna Area School fosters a community of respectful, resilient and responsible learners. This is achieved by our trademark standards of being dynamic, unified and working with integrity. Our mission is to engage every child and student so that they achieve at the highest possible level of their learning and wellbeing, through quality care and teaching.
We endeavour to ensure that students have all the skills, knowledge and attributes that would be expected after 13 years of schooling, so that their personal growth enables them to have the capacity to participate as responsible and productive citizens in a global community.
Regular updates of this website will keep visitors, and particularly current and prospective parents, in touch with the latest news and endeavours of school life at Ceduna Area School.
