History
Alvie Primary School formed in 1957 by the amalgamation of many small district schools. Past students remember Alvie Primary School as an important part of their lives, proudly supporting and serving local rural communities.
Today our school continues to play an important role within the district. Being a small school, we maintain a healthy community minded culture, and experience higher levels of wellbeing.
Nestled within 14 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, Alvie Primary School offers a dynamic and inspiring environment for children to learn, play, and grow. Our expansive campus includes two playgrounds, two tennis courts, a football/cricket oval, a soccer field, a basketball court, and a 1km walking/running/riding track. Students can also enjoy our mountain bike skills flow track, extensive rose and vegetable gardens, orchards, chook pens, shaded lawns, quiet courtyards, and a unique five-acre bush play area designed for nature-based developmental learning.
Our facilities also feature a large multipurpose room, a commercial-grade kitchen, and a dedicated space for music, multimedia, and Indonesian language learning.
At Alvie Primary, our learning programs are designed with the whole child at the centre. We believe that nurturing students requires a balanced focus on three key areas:
- Social and emotional wellbeing
- The dispositions and skills needed for lifelong learning
- The academic rigour of the Victorian Curriculum
