Our Campus

Port Melbourne Primary School is a vibrant, co-educational public school offering a rich learning environment for students from Prep to Year 6. Located in the beautiful bayside community of Port Melbourne, our school is surrounded by green spaces, with Beacon Reserve next door and Murphy Reserve’s sports fields just a short walk away.

Our school blends heritage charm with contemporary learning spaces. The original 1890 school building was transformed in 2008 to create modern, open-plan classrooms alongside our administration centre. Since then, we’ve continued to grow and evolve, adding:

A purpose-built Library, Art Room, and flexible learning spaces (2009)
A multi-purpose Hall and Music Room (2010)
Four multi-story classroom blocks, now home to our senior students (2011–2018)
A competition-standard gymnasium (2018)
A reimagined Arts Hub (2019)

Recent upgrades have further enhanced our STEM, Languages, and administration facilities, ensuring our students have access to the very best learning environments.

Our expansive school grounds offer a balance of structured and free play areas, including:

✅ Multiple playgrounds and sporting fields
✅ A gymnasium and outdoor courts
✅ Shaded spaces for quiet activities and passive play
✅ A buddy bench, where students can find a friend when they need one

We know that play is just as important as learning, so we provide varied spaces to suit every child’s needs—whether they love running, climbing, creating, or simply chatting with friends.

Our school is well-resourced with facilities that support learning, creativity, and wellbeing, including:

🏫 Co-teaching and flexible learning spaces
🎶 Arts and Music Hub
📚 Library and STEM rooms
🏀 Gymnasium with a full-sized basketball/netball court
🎭 Dedicated passive play areas for quiet activities
🏃‍♂️ Sports oval with a running track

At Port Melbourne Primary, we believe that great spaces inspire great learning. Our campus is designed to help every child feel engaged, supported, and ready to thrive.
