Principal's Welcome

Thankyou for taking the time to visit our website.

The team at Gordon Primary School hopes you will find the information here helpful in understanding the wonderful educational opportunities we offer. We would be delighted to provide additional information or arrange a personal tour at your request.

Established in 1882, Gordon Primary School is located in the township of Gordon—just a 20-minute drive east of the Ballarat. Our school’s rich history is reflected in the beautiful architecture of our main building and its surrounding grounds.

Over the years, we have developed a team of passionate, dedicated professionals who share a commitment to creating a safe, caring, and inclusive community. Each member of our staff is devoted to empowering students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best, and develop their emotional, social, and physical wellbeing. Together, we are a cohesive and supportive team focused on continuous improvement and student success.

Our teaching and learning programs are a real strength of our school. Teachers go to great lengths to cater to individual student needs—something every parent values for their child. With specialist programs and a variety of extra-curricular opportunities, our students receive a broad, balanced education that allows them to explore their interests and talents.

Our community’s passion and commitment have led to outstanding results across all areas of the curriculum. A particular highlight is our exceptional STEM program. Housed in a purpose-built, well-resourced facility, our students enjoy hands-on, innovative learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

I’m so proud of what we have created at Gordon Primary School. What we have achieved is a product of a relentless focus on doing our best for the students.
