A Long and proud practice of quality education
We are proud of our 130 year history in providing education in the Port Melbourne area. Port Melbourne Primary School is at the very heart of the Port Melbourne community and our Honour Boards carry names from a proud and rich history.
The school is situated on the corner of Graham and Clark Streets Port Melbourne, adjacent to the expansive Beacon Reserve and close to the sports fields at Murphy Reserve. Students have the opportunity to participate in a broad range of programs which support their classroom programs and allow them to have enriched learning experiences throughout their years here.
We have caring and committed staff, who bring a variety of skills, interests and experience to enhance Port Melbourne Primary School.
There is strong commitment to the development of the whole child.
We are sensitive to individual student abilities and circumstances. Our supportive environment encourages students to be enthusiastic learners. We value the contribution of our parent and wider community. Parents and teachers work together in partnership to ensure the best possible education for our children. The school has a rich educational past and looks toward an energetic and exciting future.

Upcoming Events
Bastille Day
Each year, Port Melbourne celebrates all that we learn in French and our love for discovering a new language and culture in a special day in the month of July, as close as possible to the French national celebration of le 14 juillet. Students dress in French inspired costumes.
Movie Night
The lights are low, the volume is up, and a great film is playing on the big screen! Grab your winter PJs, favourite blanket and settle in for a wonderful night of family fun. Parents are welcome to watch the movie or enjoy the company of other parents while enjoying dinner under the stars.
Trivia Night
It is that time of year when the parents get to put the FUN in Fundraising! Make sure you bring lots of cash as there will be a raffle, online auction, live auction and plenty of games. All money raised goes directly to the school giving our children the best school experience possible.
