Introduction- The Cluster.

The Seaside Cluster is a co-operative group of state Kindergartens, Junior Primary, Primary and Secondary Schools working in collaboration to deliver excellent educational settings and learning opportunities for children and students in the South West Suburbs of metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia. 

The Seaside Cluster site leaders meet formally twice a term with the superintendent of schools and District Coordinators and work collaboratively to develop shared programs, enhance communication between the sites, share information and liaise regarding professional development activities for staff.

Deputy Principals also meet regularly and maintain shared professional interests and coordinate the transition program for children and students moving from site to site within the cluster.

Many cooperative ventures exist between the sites within the Cluster in the sharing of staff, facilities, ideas and resources. Such links work to provide a holistic educational experience for children/students as they participate in the educational programs within the Cluster.
