Port Melbourne Primary School

Welcome to Port Melbourne Primary School, a dynamic and engaging establishment located in the heart of Port Melbourne, Australia. As a point of interest and a primary school, we are dedicated to providing our students with a nurturing and enriching educational experience.

At Port Melbourne Primary School, we foster a love for learning and encourage our students to be curious about the world around them. We believe in the power of creativity and actively encourage our students to express themselves through various artistic mediums.

One of our core values is kindness. We instill in our students the importance of showing compassion, consideration, understanding, and patience towards themselves, others, and the environment. We believe that by nurturing kindness, we are not only creating a harmonious school environment but also preparing our students to be compassionate global citizens.

We also strive to cultivate courage within our students. We encourage them to take risks, try new things, and take responsibility for their actions. We empower our students to stand up for themselves and others, fostering a sense of resilience and self-confidence.

Our educational approach is grounded in the belief that challenging situations are opportunities for growth. We teach our students to respond to these challenges through reflection, engagement, and perseverance, using a growth mindset. We believe that by equipping our students with these skills, they will be well-prepared to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
