Leaders’ Welcome

From Chris Riemann (Principal) and Racha H. Makki (Deputy Principal)

Welcome to Playford College

Playford College is an impressive coeducational Foundation to Year 12 school in Elizabeth, South Australia. Families are attracted to our College by our education and celebration of the Islamic faith and our strong teaching and learning program focussed on the Australian Curriculum. Students appreciate the kind-hearted and dedicated staff who strive to nurture the emotional, physical, academic, social and spiritual needs of each child.

As a new school in 2017, Playford College was blessed to commence with 78 students on an existing school site. By Census Day in 2018 we had 241 students and by Census Day in 2019 we had 307 students from Foundation to Year 9.

In 2019, the College established specialist teachers upon introduction of the Middle School Years 6 to 9 and provided each student with a laptop and popular elective offering. By 2022, a Senior School comprised of Year 10, 11 and 12 was formed, facilitated by an impressive teaching team offering a high standard of teaching and learning. This growth has continued exponentially as we have now progressed to over 640 students from Foundation to Year 12 in 2024.

Our results in 2022 and 2023 have been outstanding with all of our students achieving their SACE. Students achieved excellent results in Year 12 in 2023. In our second year with Year 12, the Dux of the College achieved an outstanding ATAR of 98.15 and the Proxima Accessit 96.30.

We are a good school getting better every day as we celebrate the Playford Way: Look after yourself, Look after others and Look after this place.

We would be delighted to meet you, should you be interested in visiting Playford College as you consider schooling options for your family.
