Korumburra Primary School serves a rapidly growing and changing community.¿ As well as our many established families, we are increasingly welcoming new families into our school community who are seeking a healthy and happy rural lifestyle - and who can blame them?¿ Our close collaboration with Karmai Community Children¿s Centre ensures that from the very beginning our children and families are well cared for and educated. Also, from the beginning families have the opportunity to connect with each other, forge friendships and strengthen our community.
