School Profile
Kennington Primary School is built on an undulating 12.1 hectares, situated in Strathdale, a South-eastern suburb of Bendigo and in close proximity to native forests.

The history of the school dates back one hundred years with several different sites occupied during this time.
After a time of significant growth, the school enrolment has stabilised with enrolment over the last three years ranging between 600 and 660.
