Proudly Port Melbourne.

At PMPS, we believe that excellence, collaboration, and community are the foundations of a great education.

We set high expectations because we believe every child is capable of great things. But we also know that kids learn best when they feel happy, supported, and connected.

That’s why our approach to teaching is clear, structured, and backed by evidence—giving every student the skills and confidence to thrive.

Deeply connected with our community, we’re not just preparing kids for school. We’re helping them grow into the leaders of tomorrow.

Our Vision

What we stand for

The following values underpin the culture of our school

Curiosity

We look after ourselves, others, and the environment. We demonstrate kindness by showing compassion, consideration, understanding and patience.

Courage

We strive to be courageous by taking risks, trying new things and being responsible for our actions. We stand up for ourselves and others.

Resilience

Acknowledgement of Country

Port Melbourne Primary School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn and play, the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Proudly educating the children of Port Melbourne, South Melbourne and Fishermans Bend.

For more than 130 years, Port Melbourne Primary School has been at the heart of our community. We proudly welcome families from a range of suburubs including Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Docklands and the growing Fishermans Bend precinct.

As the Fishermans Bend area continues to expand, many families search for a trusted Fishermans Bend Primary School. Port Melbourne Primary is the established local choice, known for strong academic results, a safe and inclusive culture, and deep community connections that have shaped generations of local learners. Families from the growing Fishermans Bend community are already part of our school, and we look forward to welcoming more as the area continues to develop.

With exceptional teachers, high-quality programs and modern facilities, Port Melbourne Primary School continues to be one of the leading inner-city Melbourne primary schools.
