We are proud of our long history in providing quality education in the Port Melbourne area. Our goal is to provide each student with a well-rounded education that helps them to develop a sense of sportsmanship, creativity, community and leadership.
The school is an active member of the Northern Lights cluster, a group of six local primary schools who work co-operatively to improve student learning outcomes in our area. Port Melbourne Primary School strives to provide an exciting, challenging and caring learning environment that motivates children, provides them with the opportunity to maximise their potential and equips them with the necessary skills, values and knowledge to become valued members of the community. At Port Melbourne Primary School, we appreciate the importance of the whole school environment and community – our people, buildings, grounds, and belongings.
