Aldinga Payinthi College

Established: 2022
Schooling Years: Preschool – Year 12 (Primary & Secondary)
Number of Students: 860
Location: Southern Adelaide

Aldinga Payinthi College is situated within the Fleurieu Peninsula near the spectacular coastal location of Port Willunga and Aldinga, nestled amongst the scrub, wetlands and beaches.

At Aldinga Payinthi College we are driven by our Way of Being and college pillars; Inspire, Connect and Belong. The college’s name was chosen to acknowledge our place within the community and our goal to recognise our First Nation’s people on whose traditional lands the college is built, through the use of the Kaurna word Payinthi. The Kaurna meaning of Payinthi (pronounced Bay-in-DEE) inspires us to look, seek, and be curious with our thinking.
