Dromana Primary School, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Dromana Primary School, located in the picturesque seaside suburb of Dromana on Melbourne’s Mornington Peninsula, enjoys breathtaking views of Port Phillip Bay and sits at the base of Arthurs Seat. Established in 1860, the school has a long and proud history of providing quality education to the local community, making it a well-established institution in the region.
The school is committed to delivering high-quality education in a stimulating and supportive environment. Its curriculum follows the Victorian Curriculum’s comprehensive seven-year sequential learning program, ensuring students receive a well-rounded education. In addition to core subjects, the school offers a diverse range of specialist programs, including Physical Education, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Science, Aboriginal Studies, Japanese, and Coding and Robotics. One of the school’s standout features is the Boat Shed, located on the nearby Dromana Foreshore. This facility serves as a unique learning centre for Science and Indigenous Studies, providing students with hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that enhance the school’s academic offerings.
The first stage of the Dromana Primary School Master Plan, designed by Kosloff Architecture, brings a revitalized central precinct and a new two-level teaching and learning building to the campus. This development was the result of extensive collaboration with students, staff, and the broader community, ensuring that the facility aligns with the school’s needs and aspirations. The new building features flexible, collaborative teaching spaces, dedicated art and music rooms, and staff development areas. By placing new structures around the perimeter, the design enhances the school’s street presence and creates a spacious, landscaped internal courtyard, offering students a welcoming, modern, and inspiring environment in which to learn.
