Dandenong South Primary School

Welcome to Dandenong South Primary School! Located on Kirkham Road in Dandenong, Australia, our institution is a point of interest and a primary school that prides itself on a strong commitment to learning and excellence.

At Dandenong South Primary School, we believe that a supportive and engaging learning environment is essential for our students to reach their full potential. With a current enrollment of 580 students, our dedicated staff work consistently to provide an exciting and stimulating atmosphere where children can be motivated and engaged in their learning.

We focus on providing clear and explicit instruction to our students, both individually and in groups, to ensure they achieve their full learning potential. Regular feedback is given to students, allowing them to have an ever-growing understanding of their own learning. Alongside academic excellence, we also value creative skills and physical education, fostering a well-rounded educational experience for our students.

As part of our commitment to the community, Dandenong South Primary School invites Third Party OSHC Providers to complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) to deliver an Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service. This is part of our grant application under the Department of Education Round 4 OSHC Establishment Grants Initiative. The EOI form can be found on our website and must be submitted by September 5th, 2023, at 4pm AEST.

At Dandenong South Primary School, we instill important values in our students. We encourage them to be responsible by making good choices and decisions, as well as being excellent role models for others. We also emphasize the importance of creating a safe environment that nurtures personal growth and self-esteem, protecting both themselves and others. Additionally, we promote respect for oneself and others, recognizing and accepting the differences in ability, race, religion, and beliefs.

We would like to acknowledge the Bunurong people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live. We recognize and respect their continuing connection to the land, water, and community. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and emerging.
