Together, the Strathmore Primary School community will promote a commitment to lifelong learning. Through a stimulating and challenging environment, the school will empower its students to reach their potential and to become caring and productive members of an ever-changing world.
Strathmore Primary School was established in 1944 to serve the education needs of the urban development to the north of Essendon. Located just eleven kilometres northwest of the city, this well established residential area is adjacent to the Tullamarine Freeway and is well served by public transport.
The present school population is approx. 515 students with an increasing number being drawn from outside the traditional catchment area. The backgrounds of students reflect a cultural and socio-economic diversity including a number of children from non-English speaking backgrounds. Parents generally have very high expectations of their children and of the school.
School facilities include an administration block and staffroom, twenty two classrooms, well-equipped specialist areas, a multi-purpose hall and a library incorporating a computer bank for research. All spaces are heated and air-conditioned.
