Newhaven Primary School

Welcome to Newhaven Primary School, a charming institution located in the beautiful fishing village of Newhaven on the South Eastern coast of Phillip Island in Australia. As the first township you encounter when crossing the bridge from San Remo, our school offers a serene and picturesque setting for your child's education.

Established in 1892, Newhaven Primary School is a Victorian Government School catering to students from Prep to Grade 6. In 2000, the school underwent a complete rebuild, providing us with modern and well-equipped facilities. Our campus features a small hall, a large hall, seven classrooms, a Science/Art Room, Library, and Administration buildings. Additionally, we have our own small oval and access to the neighboring Newhaven Reserve, ensuring ample space for outdoor activities.

Our students enjoy two playgrounds and a Covered Outdoor Learning Space, fostering a fun and engaging learning environment. We take pride in offering a Bike Education Course, a walking track with exercise stations around our oval, and a bike shed, encouraging physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.

Enrolments for the following year are accepted at any time, and we kindly request that enrolment forms for Prep be submitted by September of the year prior to commencement. Currently, we have 125 students across six classrooms, including a straight Prep class, a straight Grade 1 class, and combination classes for Grades 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, and 5/6. Each year, we review our class distribution to ensure the best possible learning environment based on enrolments.

Our dedicated teachers are fully qualified primary educators who have undergone training in Australia's leading program for Early Years literacy and numeracy. This program continues through to Grade 4, providing a seamless learning experience for your child. Statewide testing allows you to monitor your child's progress and compare their performance to other students across the state. In Grade 5, our middle years literacy and numeracy programs prepare students for their transition to secondary college.

At Newhaven Primary School, we believe in instilling a sense of community responsibility in our students. We offer various programs that encourage them to develop empathy, compassion, and a commitment to making a positive impact in their community.

Join us at Newhaven Primary School, where we prioritize academic excellence, holistic development, and a strong sense of community. Together, we will create lasting memories and provide your child with a solid foundation for their future.
