Moonambel School Profile

Moonambel Primary School is a small rural government school situated in Victoria¿s Pyrenees district, approximately 20 kilometres from Avoca and 90 kilometres from Ballarat. Located on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, the school has served its community since 1875 and maintains a strong connection to the township and surrounding district.

Our motto, ¿Creating Bright Futures¿, reflects our commitment to helping every student develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed. We aim to nurture capable learners who participate positively in their community and approach new opportunities with curiosity and confidence.
