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.
