About our School

Moonee Ponds West Primary School (MPW), established in 1888, is in the historic inner western suburb of Moonee Ponds. Reflecting the Victorian era, the buildings have been updated to keep the period façade with internal improvements to provide optimal learning conditions for all students. In 2024 we completed a capital works upgrade to our heritage buildings and playgrounds, which enhanced and modernised our learning spaces.

The school has gracious Victorian and modern buildings, with specialist rooms for Library, Japanese, Music, and Creative Arts. The Gymnasium caters for a variety of indoor sports and includes a spacious performance stage. The school has a music and performance space and dedicated music practice rooms.

The school grounds offer both active and passive areas for student play, two adventure playgrounds, a synthetic oval with running track and athletics sandpit, football, and soccer fields as well as a courtyard and centenary garden. The amphitheatre provides a pleasant environment for learning and social interaction.
