Taparra Primary School

Welcome to Taparra Primary School

South Downs Primary School became Taparra Primary School on 1 January 2024.

Taparra Primary School can be described in three words – warm, welcoming, vibrant.

Taparra is a Kaurna word, meaning ‘along the path’. At Taparra Primary School we choose to celebrate our differences, because we’re all on the same path together. Our community values kindness and inclusivity, with strong relationships across mainstream classes and disability unit. We love to find each student’s strengths and help them grow into confident learners.
