Welcome to Girgarre Primary School. We have established ourselves as a thriving educational community that focuses on supporting students academically, socially and emotionally throughout their primary school journey.

A small school is a strong school

Our committed team of teaching and education support staff cater to the individual learning needs of students and we have a strong focus on improving student learning growth — regardless of their starting point.

  • Small class sizes with an Education Support staff member in each room
  • 1:1 laptops and a wide range of learning resources
  • Spacious, well-maintained outdoor grounds with bike track, sand pit, and fitness playground
  • Free school uniform on enrolment, heavily-subsidised excursions

To learn more about how our school can support your child’s educational journey, please contact us through the website or by calling during business hours.
