School Profile


Portarlington Primary School. Inspiring Every Child to Grow and Thrive.

 

Nestled in the heart of our beautiful coastal community, just across from the picturesque esplanade and along the town's main street, Portarlington Primary School offers an enriching and nurturing beginning to every child's educational journey.

 

As a small school, we take pride in the personal attention and strong sense of belonging that our size affords. Our dedicated teachers know each learner deeply, enabling them to provide tailored support that fosters academic achievement, confidence, personal growth and positive wellbeing.

 

Learning at Portarlington Primary School extends well beyond the classroom. We nurture the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally, so every student develops resilience, empathy, and a genuine sense of community. Families are at the heart of our school. We view parents and carers as true partners in their child's learning, working together to create a shared sense of purpose and belonging. The warmth, involvement, and enthusiasm of our families enrich everyday school life, making Portarlington Primary a welcoming and connected place for all.

 

We are also deeply grateful for the pride and encouragement shown by our broader community. Their commitment to our school's success reflects a shared belief in the power of education as the cornerstone of a thriving, vibrant town. Together, we foster a learning environment where children feel known, supported, and connected to their school, their families, and the place they call home.
