Peranbin Primary College is a multicampus school, with three campuses located in North East Victoria. Our vision is to be a community of learners where students thrive. Our mission is to provide an inclusive teaching and learning environment, which supports all students to be successful community members. Our Values are as follows: We CARE about our school, we SUPPORT each other and we TRY our best. The school provides a positive and challenging learning environment based on our college values.
Our campuses are located in Baddaginnie, Strathbogie and Violet Town. Each campus reflects the identity of its community and unique natural environment. In 2026 there are 29 students enrolled across the three campuses, with a small number of Koorie students enrolled at each. Our school population is predominantly from families with British heritage. However some cultural diversity is reflected in a small number of families with Maori, Sri Lankan and Koorie heritage. Currently 25% of students require support for additional learning needs including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and dyslexia. Across the College the Student Family Occupation and Education Index (SFOEI) sits at around 0.5. This means we receive some equity funding each year to support the socio-economic disadvantage within our communities. The majority of our students arrive at school by car or on foot and there is a bus service at the Strathbogie campus. Our school also receives equity funding through the Small Group Tutoring Program, Disability Inclusion, Mental Health in Primary Schools and Schools Mental Health Funding.
The school is unique in having one School Council and one principal managing the three campuses. A Business Manager and administration officer support the principal in managing the day to day running of the college. The teaching staff are experienced and committed to professional learning, and there are Education Support staff employed at each campus to support students with additional learning needs. We are also fortunate to have funding from the National Student Wellbeing Program to employ a social worker and occupational therapist into 2026. All teaching staff are committed to developing their professional knowledge and leadership capability, with one teacher graduating from the Teacher Excellence Program in 2024. Our school has been a School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPBS) school since 2023, and we include restorative practice within this to sort out solutions with children when needed
Peranbin Primary College delivers the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 and we use the Sounds Write Phonics Program to teach phonics as mandated by the Victorian Government. This program allows all students to learn how to decode words and sounds to become fluent readers. Our school provides specialist programs in Visual Arts, Library, AUSLAN, Health and Physical Education, Wellbeing - including the mandated Respectful Relationships program. We access extra curricular programs for our students such as the State Library's Young Regional Writer's Program with author Claire Saxby and Ausdance incursions in 2025.
We are proud to be an inclusive school that welcomes students from all cultural backgrounds and with a range of learning needs. We are also proud to be a school which focuses on the future. We constantly review and reflect, so we can improve for our students and families.
