Darraweit Guim Primary School

Welcome to Darraweit Guim Primary School, a charming institution nestled in the picturesque valley of Darraweit Guim, located on Darraweit Valley Road. Situated on the far east edge of the Macedon Ranges, our school offers a tranquil and idyllic environment for students to thrive.

With a history dating back 150 years, Darraweit Guim Primary School proudly celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary in 2017. As an establishment of great significance, we have been providing quality education to students in the region for over a century and a half.

Our school is conveniently situated just 60 kilometers north of Melbourne, making it easily accessible for students and families from surrounding areas. The close proximity to the vibrant city allows our students to benefit from the best of both worlds – the serene countryside and the dynamic urban lifestyle.

One of our greatest assets is our expansive and well-maintained grounds. Our beautiful campus encompasses a variety of play equipment and sporting areas, providing ample opportunities for our students to engage in physical activities and develop their skills. From running on the oval to swinging on the monkey bars, our grounds offer a safe and stimulating environment for play and exploration.

At Darraweit Guim Primary School, we prioritize the involvement of parents and the community in our educational journey. Our School Council, led by President Kellie Petersen, plays a crucial role in shaping the direction and policies of our institution. The dedicated council members, including Principal Carol Booker, work tirelessly to ensure that our students receive the best possible education and support.

To facilitate a smooth administrative process, we have a Parent Payment Policy in place for the year 2023. Details regarding contribution costs will be provided to parents shortly.
