Welcome to Daylesford Primary School

We are very proud of our school.

We place high importance on school values and have high expectations of student and staff behaviour. Our families program builds strong relationships throughout the school.

We offer a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. We pride ourselves on our high standards in education. We have a very dedicated professional staff. We have three specialist teachers offering outstanding programs in LOTE (Italian), Art and Performance Arts. Our facilities are outstanding, including a gymnasium, swimming pool, three specialist classrooms and a fully-equipped library, with IT in all classrooms.

We have strong community links, with many U3A, parents and volunteers involved in many aspects of the school. A number of extremely successful community events support these community links, such as Italian Day, Art Attack Day, Education Week and Literacy and Numeracy Week.

School assemblies are a major part of every week, where Junior School Council plays a significant role and student recognition is a major focus.

Daylesford Primary School has strong transition programs from Kindergarten to Primary and from Year 6 to Year 7, supporting these stages in children's development.

Our camping program also supports and builds positive educational outcomes.

Daylesford Primary School is a CeLL (Creating eLearning Leaders) school, which has enriched our delivery of curriculum through ICT (Information and Computer Technology) and multimedia.

The environment is important to us. We have excellent gardens, are waterwise and a SunSmart school. Our Art in the Yard program reinforces our strong emphasis on positive relationships with people.
