Location ProfileSan Remo Primary School was first opened on March 26 th , 1874. It is situated in the San Remo township, at the eastern entrance of Westernport Bay, approximately 135 kilometres from central Melbourne. It has a long tradition of serving the local communities of San Remo and Phillip Island. The school was moved to its existing site in 1948.
Students attending San Remo Primary School come from varied family backgrounds. Historically, families in the area have come from fishing and farming backgrounds; however, in more recent years the area has become a desirable place to live for people from a broader variety of backgrounds. Some family members commute to Melbourne for work, while other families are either self-employed or employed in a range of businesses in the area. The school attracts students from the township of San Remo to Bass on the mainland and from Phillip Island.
There are no buses used at the school, which means that most parents drop off and pick up children from school each day, creating the opportunity for social interaction and strong parent involvement.
Our facilities, whilst older than other schools in the area, are well maintained, neat and meet the needs of our community. We are extremely well resourced with interactive televisions in every classroom, computers in each classroom as well as notebooks for the children to use. Our grounds are well maintained with native and bird attracting plants a feature.
We are fortunate to share the San Remo Recreation Centre that is adjacent to our school and have daily use of this facility. Assemblies, Physical Education classes, special theme days, performing and visual arts programs all utilise this venue. While we cater to all curriculum areas, including specialist subjects of Japanese, Physical Education, Art, Music and MARC Van, we also offer extra-curricular activities such as grades 3-6 sport, bike education, swimming, a camp program from grade 3 to grade 6 and strong transition programs for both kindergarten and grade 6 students as well as between grade 1 to 5.
Our staff structure combines experienced and graduate teachers who are all passionate about teaching and learning and continue to develop their knowledge through targeted professional development. Our caring, professional staff value all children and are dedicated to providing an excellent curriculum with high expectations and results. Teachers meet regularly in their teams and as a whole staff to plan and evaluate teaching programs across the school. Student wellbeing is a priority at San Remo Primary with teachers sharing responsibility for all. We believe that all children can and will learn in a supportive and encouraging environment. We currently have 7 grades operating in 2024.
San Remo Primary School is a coastal community school which embraces the unique opportunities that the local environment has to offer. We value and respect individuality and instil in each child a sense of their worth. We nurture social, emotional and intellectual development in a caring and inclusive environment. Students are immersed in a rich, comprehensive curriculum which is designed to equip them with literacy, numeracy and life skills.
San Remo Primary School has a very successful Before and After School Hours Care Program, with varied activities and a high standard of care, in an extremely well-appointed setting.
