History

Woodville Gardens School was created as a result of a merger between five schools, i.e. Ferryden Park Primary School, Ridley Grove Primary School, Mansfield Park Primary School, Woodville Gardens Preschool, and Parks Children's Centre. [9] [10] The merger occurred as part of the Education Works New Schools Project of the Department of Education and Children's Services., [11] which resulted in the school's lands being earmarked for new housing development. [12] Woodville Gardens School was built on the site of the old Ridley Grove Primary School, which was established in 1950 and closed in 2010, as a result of that merger.[ citation needed ]

The Woodville Gardens School council was officially established under the Education Act 1972 (SA), s85(1)(a) [13] on 30 September 2010. [14] Woodville Gardens School was opened on 31 January 2011. [15]

Administration

As of 2024, the school has a teaching staff of 41 (37.2 full-time equivalent) and non-teaching staff of 36 (22.4 full-time equivalent). [3]

The first principal of the school was Frank Cairns. [16] The current principal is Kristian Mundy. [4] [2]
