Marysville Primary School

Located a scenic drive from Melbourne, the picturesque town of Marysville is nestled in the forested hills of the Marysville State Forest. The pristine waters of the Steavenson River flow through the the area, providing a magnificent backdrop to a vibrant community. Melbourne’s closest alpine resort Lake Mountain, situated in the beautiful Yarra Ranges National Park, is only a short drive away. Equidistant between Healesville via the magnificent Black Spur, and Alexandra past the spectacular Cathedral Range State Park, Marysville was established in 1863 as a stopover for diggers on their way to the nearby goldfields. Marysville Primary School was established soon after in 1870. Marysville Primary School reopened in 2010 after the Black Saturday fires.

Our School, Pre School and Maternal Child Health Centre are all co-relocated to form a Community Hub. What we have today is a proud and purposeful showcase of 21st century facilities and resources, a safe and supportive learning environment combined with teaching and learning excellence.

Our community collectively embrace the values of 'Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Community'. Our purpose is to well prepare our people to be highly capable, self confident individuals who positively contribute to our community and beyond.

Our school offers light, bright and flexible spaces and a resource rich learning environment. Student enrolment has increased from 14 in 2010 to some 60 students. Our strategic educational priorities are literacy and numeracy, integrated study, social and emotional learning supported by teacher professional learning.
