Sustainabilty
From worm farms to compost bins, students take part in sustainable practices that teach care for the environment.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Christie Creek catchment, Morphett Vale East School offers students a rich and engaging outdoor learning environment. Our picturesque setting provides daily opportunities for students to connect with nature through activities such as nature walks, creek exploration, gardening, greenhouse studies and our kitchen academy program.
Since opening in 1972, we have proudly supported over 50 years of student growth and success. Our strong community spirit, combined with a commitment to nurturing each child’s potential, continues to shape confident, curious, and capable learners who are ready to make a positive impact in the world. We cater for students from Reception to Year 6, offering a vibrant and hands-on curriculum that integrates outdoor learning across key subjects. Our dedicated educators encourage children to explore, question, and engage deeply with the world around them, building a strong foundation in Literacy and Numeracy alongside subjects like Science, HASS, Technologies, The Arts, Music, Health and Physical Education, STEM, Gardening, Cooking, Auslan and Nature Education.
Our inclusive approach supports diverse learning styles and individual needs, with strong partnerships between staff, families, and the wider community. At Morphett Vale East School, learning is an active and collaborative journey — one that fosters a lifelong love of nature, learning and sustainability.
It would be my pleasure to welcome you into our school community and share the wonderful opportunities we offer. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to organise a tour.
Kind regards,
Anthony McIver (Principal)
