About the Business
Welcome to Mount Eliza Primary School, a vibrant institution located in the beautiful suburb of Mount Eliza, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing the best learning opportunities for our students in a friendly, respectful, caring, and professional environment.
When you step into our school, you will immediately feel the warm and inviting atmosphere that permeates throughout. We take great pride in creating a stimulating and engaging learning environment that focuses on the academic, social, and emotional development of our students.
Our vision for education revolves around being the nerve-center for learning, where students, teachers, families, and industry come together as partners on the learning journey. We firmly believe in the importance of finding balance between explicit teaching and guided inquiry to empower all learners and foster a culture of collective responsibility.
At Mount Eliza Primary School, we promote a distributive leadership approach, encouraging every member of our school community to have a voice. This begins with developing a shared vision that sets high expectations and embraces a culture of innovation and agency. We strive to create an engaged and high-achieving learning community based on research and best practices.
With a student population of 481, we operate 21 classrooms and offer specialist programs in Visual Arts, Performing Arts, and Physical Education. Our students also have the opportunity to participate in our Kitchen Garden Program, where they learn to grow their own vegetables and herbs. Additionally, we provide Indonesian language lessons and incorporate Science sessions into our Year 3 – 6 program, supporting our focus on STEM education.
We strongly believe that parents are essential partners in their child's education, and we actively encourage families to become involved in our school community. Our School Council and PTA meet regularly to support the dedicated staff and students at Mount Eliza Primary School.
Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Connectedness, and Challenge are the core values that underpin everything we do. These values guide our approach to learning and are fundamental in fostering respectful relationships across the entire school.
We are incredibly proud of our school and invite you to explore our website further to discover more about the wonderful things we do here at Mount Eliza Primary School.

Reviews
"Beautiful community and strong leadership. My daughters have had some great teachers."
"Such a great school. Staff go above and beyond. The community is friendly, welcoming and inclusive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
"We couldn’t be happier with MEPS. Our three children have all had a fantastic experience at the school since we moved to Mount Eliza four years ago. All the teachers really care about the students and consistently go above and beyond. The new principal Kim is extremely hands-on. She’s at the front gate every afternoon chatting with students and parents, and will just pick up the phone if she needs to let you know about something rather than relying on email. If you’re looking for a school with a true sense of community, definitely look into MEPS."
"I feel so lucky to have been part of the Mount Eliza Primary School community for the nearly 8 years that my children have been students there. Supportive teachers who know the kids really well and care about the students and their parents. Each child is treated as in individual who can be amazing. A great place to grow and learn."
"We had our children enrolled at Mt Eliza Primary School over 7 years and ended up moving them to another local school in 2021, for various reasons. Over the past few years we've observed many unwelcome changes at the school across several areas, including declining enrolments, larger class sizes, below-average NAPLAN performance, a revolving door of staff, and cuts to specialist programs. Once a jewel in the crown was the school's Kitchen Garden program, this too has been cut back. The deal-breaker for us was the "below minimum level" of support offered for our child with a medical condition, who was about to commence prep. In stark contrast, our new school has exceeded our expectations and has been incredibly supportive. There are some wonderful teachers at Mt Eliza Primary School, unfortunately the school has some work to do to improve and get back on track."
