Healesville Primary School (pop. 360) is located on a sloping, treed, 2 hectare site nestled at the base of the Eastern Ranges, in close proximity to the main business centre of Healesville.

The school makes the most of its central location and has developed programs strongly aligned to the local community and its services. The school (established in 1866) is very proud of its history and contribution towards education and the community of Healesville. It celebrated its 140th birthday in November of 2006.

The Healesville area has strong historical links with its Koorie population. Presently we have 26 Koorie children and a Koorie education officer. more...

Culture Crazy at Healesville Primary
In our efforts to create a greater understanding of the world around us, in term one, all of the children at HPS will be participating in our whole-school topic 'What a Wonderful World'. We are looking at the many different cultures that make up our wonderful country and exploring some of our own local history. Cultural Awareness week will be launched by Joy Murphy-Wandin on Monday 20th March with a Welcome to Country ceremony and we are all very excited to have such a special visitor helping us with our celebrations.

Baby Beardies in the house!

Our wonderful bearded dragons Huff, Puff, French and Freckle have been with us for over two years now and with great excitement we welcome our first clutch of babies, hatched Sunday 27th-Monday 28th. See our Wildlife Squad pages for more information.

Sustainable Living Festival

Ten of our year 6 students participated in the Sustainable Living Festival on Friday the 18/2. We all had a great time listening to David Suzuki and planning a sustainability campaign for our school.
Alden Welstead participated in a masterclass with David Suzuki, and delivered a wonderful speech to an audience of over 300 people.
The kids were wonderful.



Congratulations to our School Student Leaders for 2011

In the first week back, elections were held and the results were very close. As always, we had an amazingly talented pool of young inspiring people to choose from so it was an extremely close election all round.

Resiliency Robbers

Parents, by nature, have the best of intentions when raising kids.

Wanting what is best for kids in the short term can cause parents to make decisions that are not always in their (children’s) long-term best interests. more...
