US The
Edinburgh Adventist Primary School relocated to brand new premises and opened
its doors for classes on Monday July 10, 2000. Located on the corner of Edinburgh
and Allenby Roads in the leafy suburb of Lilydale Victoria, the school caters
to students from Prep to Grade 6, however the school's close relationship with
the Edinburgh Early Learning Centre www.edinburghelc.com.au
and Lilydale Adventist Academy www.laa.edu.au
provides the option for students to enjoy uninterrupted education from age 3 through
to Year 12 on the same campus. Currently the Primary campus has a total enrolment
of 139 students. The
Seventh-day Adventist Education System was established in the late nineteenth
century and is now the second largest private school system in the world. Like
the SDA Church itself, the school system is represented in 203 of the 228 countries
recognized by the United Nations. It is made up of 5,005 primary schools, 1,214
secondary schools and 99 colleges and universities with a total enrolment of 1,185,316
(world statistics for 2001 - SDA Church Yearbook 2003 Edition, p.4). Adventist
Education Australia operates some 55 schools, which in turn employ over 800 teaching
staff, and cater to the educational needs of around 12,000 pupils (for further
information on Adventist Education in Australia, click on www.adventist.edu.au). Adventist
Schools aim to educate the whole person by paying careful attention to the social,
mental, emotional, spiritual and physical aspects of each individual. We seek
to nurture students in a Christian environment and to empower them to be responsible
citizens with the necessary initiative, resilience and independence to face the
challenges in today's fast changing world with confidence and serenity. Our
schools are coeducational and welcome students from all religious and cultural
backgrounds. Staff
