Ripponlea Primary School is a warm, inclusive and community-minded school where students are truly known, supported and celebrated. For many families, our school feels like an extension of home a place where relationships matter, every voice is valued, and working together makes a world of difference.

As a small school with a big heart, we are able to create strong connections between students, staff and families. Our size allows us to respond thoughtfully to individual needs, foster a deep sense of belonging, and ensure every child feels safe, confident and included. Inclusion and care sit at the heart of everything we do.

Our committed and passionate staff place students at the centre of all decisions. They work collaboratively to deliver a broad, engaging curriculum that builds strong foundations in literacy and numeracy while offering rich, experiential learning opportunities across the arts, sport, inquiry learning and wellbeing. We strive to nurture curiosity, independence and a genuine love of learning that stays with children well beyond their primary years.

Student wellbeing underpins our approach to teaching and learning.
