About Us

At Swan Hill Primary, we aim to develop 21st Century Learners. We are excited to share how our school is Achieving Success Together. We are a coeducational government school, providing a dynamic and progressive education from Foundation to Year 6.

Our extensive landscaped grounds (4.4 hectares) allows students to have ample space to play and interact with each other in different environments, including grassed and paved playing areas, a large oval, basketball and netball courts, adventure playgrounds, plenty of tree-shaded areas and a central courtyard reserved for quiet activities.

We pride ourselves on continuously having high Parent and Staff Opinion survey results, and believe our positive school culture allows both students and staff to flourish!
